Dog Bite - $56,000.00

A neighbor’s dog wandered into our client’s house with its leash still attached. While attempting to return the dog it lunged off our client’s porch and pulled the client down a flight of stairs resulting in neck pain, arm pain, and hip pain. The homeowner’s insurance company unsuccessfully argued our client was a “temporary keeper” of the dog and attempted to deny the claim. The case was settled shortly after a settlement demand package was sent to the insurance company.
