Dog Attack Injury
Our client was in her own yard, holding her dog. A dog from the neighborhood became loose, and entered our client's property. The two dogs lunged at each other, but no contact was made. Neither dog touched, nor did they touch our client. However, the turmoil knocked our client to the ground, causing serious injury. The insurance carrier representing the neighboring dog's owner fought our client's claim. They insisted that there was no contact, and that the neighboring dog did not cause the injury. The dog bite attorneys of Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum filed suit, and obtained a policy limits settlement of $300,000 for our client. Our client was not even required to make an appearance in court.
