$ 401,000.00                                         Easton PA

In the fall of 2019, the Easton dog bite accident attorney obtained permission from a Northampton County Court of Common Pleas Judge to settle an Easton dog attack claim for $401,000.00. Three years earlier, an Easton PA woman and her young son were invited guests of a family in Whitehall PA. It was an opportunity for the children to play together.

The defendants rented the property and housed inside their residence was an adult male pit bull that was “rescued.” It was running around the house loose and without any restraints. One of the residents assured the mother that the dog “didn’t have any issues with anyone.” Their claim was proven to be false. After the pit bull attacked the little boy, its owner admitted that it had previously charged at a little girl at a bus stop. She bizarrely blamed it on the child because she was “eating a pop tart.”

The vicious pit bull bit off most of the child’s left ear. He was rushed to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Bethlehem. The Easton PA resident was promptly transferred with the severed ear to CHOP in downtown Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the surgeons could not save the severed earlobe. After 3 days in the hospital, the boy returned to his Northampton County home.

Soon thereafter, the boy’s parents concentrated their energy on researching Lehigh Valley area attorneys to choose someone whom they believed to be the top Easton dog attack attorney. They telephoned Attorney Thomas J. Newell who immediately provided them with a free consultation. His most immediate concern was the fact that the pit bull owners were renters and most likely not insured for an amount that would fairly compensate the pit bull attack victim. There was no dispute that the pit bull would frequently jump up and onto guests when they arrived at the defendants’ house.

Attorney Thomas J. Newell obtained information that the renters’ daughter and the landlords’ daughter were friends and were often together at the Whitehall location. The attorney for dog attacks in Easton PA argued that the property owners were clearly aware of the pit bull’s aggressive tendencies and they should have ordered the renters to adopt a policy of separating their dog from any guests. There were 2 easy and harmless options – locking the pit bull in a cage or securing it in a separate room. The renters chose not to take this most minimal of precautions and the Easton PA resident paid the price for their negligent decision.

Attorney Thomas J. Newell obtained the renters’ insurance policy limit of $100,000.00, as well as the property owners’ liability limit of $300,000.00, along with their med pay coverage of $1,000.00. The $401,000.00 Easton dog attack settlement was a complete victory for the Easton animal bite lawyer and was completed without the need to file a lawsuit versus the parents of the young victim’s friend.

$ 76,000.00                                           Easton, PA

On July 31, 2020, your attorney for dog bites in Easton PA obtained approval from Northampton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Stephen G. Baratta to settle an Easton pit bull attack lawsuit for $76,000.00. Attorney Thomas J. Newell had presented to the Court a 10 page Petition for Minor’s Compromise Settlement under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2039.

Five years earlier, a young boy from Easton went over to his classmate’s home to play. After opening the gate into the backyard, he was attacked by the homeowner’s pit bull. The child was rushed to the Easton Hospital ER. Surgery was performed to repair facial lacerations. Fortunately, the dog was up-to-date with its rabies vaccinations and the anti-infection medication worked to perfection.

When the Easton dog attack injury lawyer could not reach a pre-litigation settlement with the homeowners insurance company, he file a lawsuit in Northampton County. Attorney Newell successfully fought off attempts by the defense attorney to reduce the number of legal claims being presented in the litigation. After receiving a favorable court ruling from Judge Morganelli, the Northampton County dog bite attorney negotiated a settlement which would be paid via a tax-free structured settlement annuity.

$ 39,000.00                                           Easton PA

In the summer of 2009, the Easton dog attack lawyer settled an Easton dog attack case for $39,000.00. In March of 2008, a woman was walking her husky with a leash on her front sidewalk just outside the City of Easton. Suddenly, and without warning, two unleashed and unsupervised dogs ran onto her front lawn and began to maul her Siberian Husky. The pit bull and German Shepherd knocked her family pet down and she feared for its life. As the woman tried to save her husky, she was bitten by the attacking dogs on her left hand and fell onto the sidewalk.

Ultimately, she was able to grab her dog and escape into their home. The husky was taken to a vet who stitched up the dog bite wounds. The Easton dog bite victim was driven to Lehigh Valley Hospital. X-rays showed that she had sustained a fracture to her left pinky finger. The Freemansburg PA resident was fitted with a splint and given a tetanus shot. She received follow-up care from a Lehigh Valley orthopedic surgeon.

The negligent dog owner was charged with multiple PA Dog Law violations, including Harboring a Dangerous Dog and Failing to Confine the pit bull and German Shepherd. The Northampton County resident knew it was critical to hire the top Easton dog attack attorney to maximize all aspects of their Lehigh Valley dog attack claim. The attorney for dog attacks in Easton assisted the Northampton County Dog Warden in her prosecution before a Lehigh Valley District Justice. The dog owner was convicted on all counts. His appeal to the trial court was unsuccessful and he was again found guilty in November of 2008.

The husband of the Easton dog bite victim spent over $2,000.00 to erect a fence in the backyard as a result of the fears his wife had regarding being attacked again by these vicious dogs. She also underwent approximately six months of mental health counseling. Once all of her medical and mental health care ended, the lawyer for dog bites in Easton PA ordered and obtained all of the medical documentation, veterinary records and photographs of the dog bite victim, her dog and the fence her husband had built.

The defendant dog owner was a renter. Attorney Newell acquired records that proved that he was previously cited for allowing his dogs to run loose. The Easton dog bite lawyer made an additional legal liability claim versus the property owner for failing to take appropriate measures to ensure his renter would follow the PA Dog Law. In the spring of 2009, the lawyer for dog attacks in Easton forwarded a seven-page legal analysis position paper to the defense adjusters. This document itemized the injuries sustained by the Lehigh Valley resident, as well as identified the various legal theories of recovery versus the dog owner and his landlord. The Easton dog attack claim was quickly settled without Attorney Thomas J. Newell having to file an Easton dog bite lawsuit.

$ 29,987.10                                           Easton PA

In June of 2020, your lawyer for dog attacks in Easton, PA settled a dog bite claim for a Northampton County resident for a total payout of $29,987.10. Two years earlier, a young man had been jogging in Honesdale PA when he was attacked by an unleashed Caucasian Mountain Shepherd. The Lehigh Valley resident put up his left arm to shield his face. The vicious dog lunged at him twice.

A family member drove him to Wayne Memorial Hospital. The Lehigh Valley resident was treated for multiple dog bite wounds to his left arm. Three x-rays were taken. An injection of Lidocaine was administered and then 3 stitches were used to close the lacerations. His was prescribed Augmentin to fight off infections. The PA dog bite victim returned to the hospital several days later to have the sutures removed.

The jogger knew that it was essential to hire the top Easton dog attack attorney. The Easton resident contacted Attorney Thomas J. Newell shortly after this unprovoked Poconos dog attack. Your attorney for dog attacks in Wayne County realized that it was important to immediately speak with neighbors of the negligent dog owner. Two different neighbors had experienced multiple events where the unleashed, unmuzzled and unsupervised vicious dog had run onto their property and pursued them.

After receiving this critical information, the Easton dog attack lawyer obtained his client’s medical records, medical bills and photographs of permanent scarring. The attorney for dog bites in the Lehigh Valley put together a detailed 15 page analysis applying the PA Dog Law and case precedents to this fact situation. Attorney Newell threatened to file a Complaint with a Punitive Damage count.

Ultimately, the defendants’ homeowners insurance company decided to provide a generous settlement amount in order to avoid litigation. The Northampton County resident was eager to settle the case and be able to move forward with his life. If you live in Easton and are attacked by a dog, call Attorney Thomas J. Newell today.
