$500K Settlement Awarded for a Dog Attack

Our clients were invited to the home of their friends, the defendants, on Orange Avenue in Corcoran, California. The incident occurred while they were waiting in the fenced-in yard of the defendants’ home. While waiting for the defendants to come out of the residence, the defendants’ dog attacked them. As a result of this serious California dog bite, our clients sought the legal assistance of an Adamson Ahdoot attorney to file a lawsuit.

The animal, a male Rottweiler, attacked one of our clients and bit them several times on them right leg. The plaintiff attempted to physically restrain the dog, but was dragged to the ground by the animal.

In the process of rescuing our client, they suffered another bite on their left ankle. One of our clients was able to lift the victim of the attack, who was a minor. They then ran off the property and placed them on the hood of their car, out of the dog’s reach.

However, the vicious dog continued its attack, attempting to jump and scratch the vehicle, causing damage to the property. Our client’s screams and cries were quite alarming, prompting another defendant to come out to help. As the defendants rushed out, they grabbed the animal and stopped the attack.

The victim sustained severe and permanent injuries that caused pain and altered their daily life for a period of time. A California Adamson Ahdoot dog bite lawyer was able to secure a successful $500K settlement for a dog attack lawsuit.
