Case Details
David J. Martin obtains a $600,000 settlement for a 13-year-old child attacked and seriously injured by his neighbor’s Pitbull, resulting in a large wound on the inner thigh requiring surgery, permanent scarring, and emotional trauma. The dog escaped a fence that the owner knew was not an effective deterrent.
Additional Notes
During investigation, the child’s father provided a video showing two aggressive pitbulls attempting to jump over the wood fence and removing pieces of it, which was crucial evidence. The dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance company initially did not make a reasonable settlement offer, leading to a lawsuit.
