California Dog-Bite Victim Receives One-Million Dollar Settlement
By Michael Morse | October 1, 2008
A California woman recently settled a lawsuit for severe scarring and injuries to her face after being attacked by an American bulldog. On April 6, 2006, the woman was walking her own dog to a bus stop to pick up her children when she was attacked by the bulldog that bit her face and permanently scarred her nose. Following several surgeries to rebuild her face, the woman received $900,000 and her husband and two children received $33,000 each, an amount that equaled the upper limit of the dog owner’s insurance policy. Moreover, the dog was euthanized and its owner, who insisted that the dog had never bitten anyone before this incident, was sentenced to four months in jail and 100 hours of community service.
