Dog Attack
Our client was bitten by an unleashed dog while walking in a residential neighborhood. The attack resulted in puncture wounds, ER care, follow-up medical treatment, and emotional trauma that required therapy.
The Outcome:
We obtained a $24,626.87 settlement covering physical injury, psychological treatment, and scar management under the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance policy.
Creative Legal Strategy:
We located prior incident reports involving the same dog and invoked local leash law ordinances to establish owner negligence. By combining photographic injury evidence with witness statements and animal control history, we constructed a liability narrative that left little room for the defense to dispute.
