$450K Awarded in Dog Bite Injury Case

A 15-year-old boy was at a neighbor’s home. Without any warning or provocation, the neighbor’s Pit Bull/Mastiff mix viciously attacked the boy causing severe and permanent injuries. The boy’s injuries include a fractured hand and wrist, bites and lacerations to the head, face, legs, arms, and chest area. The bites and wounds required several hundred stitches. The boy was hospitalized for several weeks and many of the wounds remained open and exposed “to the bone” during the initial healing process. The boy continues to suffer physical limitations due to the attack, permanent scarring and also severe emotional trauma.
