Our client was a girl who was petting a dog when the dog lunged forward biting her in the face. The girl was taken to the hospital and received several stitches. Over time, the small lacerations healed leaving some scarring.
Attorney Brandon Derry presented a claim to the dog owner’s insurance company. The insurance company refused to make an offer that Attorney Derry believed was reasonable for our client.
It was recommended our client file a lawsuit against the insurance company to force the company to reconsider. After a lawsuit was filed, Attorney Derry negotiated a $175,000 settlement, which was more than double the last offer the insurance company made before the lawsuit.
