Case Details

New York Kings County Supreme Court ruling in DeBlase v. Hill allowed recovery for emotional distress for the loss of a pet, elevating pets' legal status beyond mere personal property. The firm highlights this as a significant legal precedent.

Additional Notes

Landmark New York ruling establishing pets as 'immediate family' for emotional distress claims, not directly a case won by Boston Dog Lawyers but a precedent they advocate for.
