$ 181,000.00                             Monroe County, PA

On June 22, 2020, the Monroe County dog attack injury attorney finalized a $181,000.00 Monroe County dog bite settlement. Attorney Thomas J. Newell met with the parents of a boy days after he was mauled by a pit bull in the fall of 2018. During the course of the free home consultation, he was able to view the entire dog attack scene, as well as meet with a neighbor who was an eyewitness.

Several days earlier, their son was riding his bicycle on a public alleyway that provides access to 6 different properties. The defendants own a flag lot where the alleyway ends. On the date in question, their pit bull mix was chained to a post in the ground. The pit bull owners claimed the chain snapped thereby allowing their dog to run off their property.

The pit bull pursued and then attacked the boy as he was nearing his property. He fell off his bike, regained his balance and tried to escape by running to his home. The pit bull lunged at the Stroudsburg resident, dragged him to the ground and viciously bit his left thigh. The unrestrained canine also bit the boy’s right ear.

The lawyer for dog attacks in Monroe County cited a Pennsylvania Superior Court case that showed the defendants were guilty of violating the PA Dog Law even though the attack happened on a public alleyway they had a right-of-way through. The violation of Section 305 was critical in allowing Attorney Newell to prove that the pit bull owners were negligent on the day of the unprovoked dog attack.

The child was rushed to Pocono Lehigh Valley Hospital in East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. He was placed under general anesthesia and the surgeon repaired 3 pit bull attack wounds to his left thigh and 1 to his right ear. He was discharged the following day and multiple medications were prescribed. The stitches were removed a week later from his ear and 7 days after that from his thigh. Fortunately, no infection developed and follow-up medical treatment was unnecessary.

The attorney for dog bites in Monroe County, Pennsylvania ordered, paid for and reviewed all of the medical records and bills. Attorney Thomas J. Newell paid for a professional photographer to take pictures of the permanent scars. A detailed 15 page analysis was sent to the pit bull owners’ insurance company. After a lengthy negotiation process, the parties agreed to a $181,000.00 Poconos dog attack settlement.

$ 142,045.00                           Monroe County, PA

On January 9, 2019, the Monroe County dog bite lawyer concluded the successful resolution of a $142,045.00 Poconos dog attack settlement. A 2 year-old boy was dropped off by his mother at his grandparents’ home in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania. His uncle was temporarily residing there with his pit bull/Rottweiler mixed breed dog. Unfortunately, no one put the canine away or was supervising its actions with the child.

Suddenly and without any warning, the aggressive pit mix bit the boy several times on the face. He was immediately taken to the ER at Palmerton Hospital. Given the severity of the dog attack wounds, the child was transferred to Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest Hospital. Many sutures were needed to repair the facial lacerations. Multiple antibiotics were prescribed. The little boy also lost a baby tooth.

Several months after the unprovoked dog attack, the boy’s mother contacted the lawyer for dog attacks in Monroe County, PA. Attorney Thomas J. Newell promptly arranged to meet with the family in their Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania residence. He answered all of their questions regarding the litigation process and acquired photographs and evidence concerning the Poconos dog bite attack.

The young boy followed-up with his pediatrician and dentist. Two weeks after the attack, a plastic surgeon conducted a detailed analysis of the facial scar. The scar was healing well and there was no sign of infection. The payments made by the child’s insurance company for medical treatment totaled nearly $4,000.00. Once the medical care had concluded, the Monroe County dog bite injury attorney ordered a complete copy of the medical records, medical bills and current photographs.

Attorney Newell then forwarded all of the documentary evidence, along with a thorough 9 page legal analysis to the defendants’ homeowners insurance company. Settlement negotiations were ultimately successful. The dog owners’ carrier agreed to fund a structured settlement annuity plan obtained by the Monroe County dog bite accident attorney that will provide tax-free benefits to the boy totaling $142,045.00.

$135,255.27
Monroe County PA

On November 8, 2011, the Monroe County dog attack lawyer obtained approval from a Monroe County Judge to settle a Monroe County dog attack claim for $135,255.27. A little girl’s mother had gone to volunteer for a charity event and had dropped her daughter off at her sister’s home in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Sadly, the aunt’s mixed breed dog was not properly supervised and it mauled the little girl. The Monroe County dog bite victim was taken to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg PA. A plastic surgeon performed surgery on her face. Forty stitches were needed to repair the dog bite facial wounds.

The Monroe County dog attack attorney advised the girl’s mother to have her daughter evaluated by the Monroe County PA board certified plastic surgeon a year after the attack. Fortunately, the initial surgery was so expertly performed that plastic surgery was not required.

After the medical records were obtained, your Monroe County dog bite attorney forwarded them to the defense adjuster along with proof of prior vicious propensities by the mixed breed dog. The attorney for dog bites in Monroe County PA was able to negotiate the PA dog bite settlement without having to file a Monroe County dog attack lawsuit.

The Monroe County dog bite attorney presented a structured settlement annuity plan to Judge Linda Wallach Miller. It provided a tax-free Monroe County dog bite compensation payout of $135,255.27 to be paid by an A+ rated life insurance company.

$117,460.00
Monroe County PA

On Sept. 7, 2012, your Monroe County dog bite attorney received approval from Judge Williamson of the Monroe County Orphans’ Court to settle a Monroe County PA dog bite claim for a total payout of $117,460.00.  The PA dog bite settlement was to be paid to the Monroe County dog attack victim through a structured settlement annuity plan. Tax-free payments will be made to the young girl when she becomes 18, 19, 20 and 21.

On June 16, 2011, the two-year old girl was being babysat by her grandparents in Blakeslee Monroe County PA. Her mother was at a nearby hospital receiving treatment for a medical emergency. The grandparents owned a male black lab that had attacked people numerous times in the past. The dog had even bitten the grandmother two or three times previously. The vicious dog had also attacked a five year old girl.

Unfathomably, the dog owners allowed their dog to interact with the young child without any supervision. The dog bit her in the face and she was rushed to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Due to the severe dog bite facial wounds, the Monroe County dog attack victim was transferred to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. She was placed under general anesthesia and a plastic surgeon used numerous stitches to close the facial lacerations.

The Monroe County dog bite lawyer was hired on 2/15/12 after he personally met with the dog bite victim and her mother in Tannersville PA. Within 30 days, Attorney Newell sent to the defense adjuster a detailed 5 page legal analysis regarding the PA Dog Law and a potential punitive damage claim on behalf of the Monroe County dog bite victim.

In June of 2012, the Monroe County dog attack attorney sent a thorough settlement demand package to the homeowners’ insurance company. The documents enclosed included medical reports, medical bills and photographs. Soon thereafter, the defense adjuster agreed to pay their liability policy limit. On September 6, 2012, the lawyer for dog bites in Monroe County Pennsylvania filed a Petition for Minor’s Compromise with the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania.

The following day, Judge Williamson signed the Order approving the Monroe County dog attack settlement. This eliminated the necessity of the Monroe County dog attack lawyer having to file a Monroe County dog bite lawsuit versus the little girl’s grandparents.

$ 65,000.00                            Monroe County PA

On December 28, 2016, the lawyer for dog attacks in Monroe County PA obtained approval from Judge David L. Williamson of the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas to resolve a Stroudsburg dog bite claim for $65,000.00. Attorney Thomas J. Newell presented the Orphans’ Court Judge with a 9 page Petition for Minor’s Compromise Settlement pursuant to PA R. C. P. No. 2039.

As detailed in the Court filing, a young boy was an invited guest at his friend’s Stroudsburg home. The children began to jump on a trampoline. The family owned a male boxer that had 3 prior dog attacks and, therefore, never should have been allowed to mingle with the children while they were using the trampoline. Inexplicably, the homeowner let the boxer out without any restraints. The vicious dog pursued and attacked the young boy. Multiple bite wounds were found on his buttocks and right leg.

Medical treatment was provided by Pocono Medical Center, the boy’s pediatrician and a Monroe County PA chiropractor. A total of twelve stitches were needed to close the dog bite wounds. A tetanus shot was administered and antibiotics were prescribed to fight off infections. In the meantime, the Monroe County dog attack injury attorney met with the boy’s parents in their Stroudsburg Pennsylvania home.

Once Attorney Newell was hired, he promptly filed a Right-To-Know Request with state officials in Harrisburg PA. The PA Dog Warden Report of George Nixon was obtained. Violations of PA Law were noted, including failing to have the bulldog up-to-date with its rabies vaccination and failing to have the dog currently licensed. These violations, as well as the prior vicious propensities were the center piece of Attorney Newell’s negotiations with the defense adjuster.

The Monroe County PA dog bite accident lawyer successfully argued that the value of his client’s dog attack claim was increased as a result of the reckless conduct on the part of the owners of this vicious bulldog. The parents of the victim were especially happy that the $65,000.00 Monroe County dog bite settlement was obtained without having to file a dog attack lawsuit versus the parents of their son’s friend.

$ 55,000.00                                  Monroe County PA

In April of 2017, the attorney for dog bites in Monroe County successfully concluded a Poconos dog attack settlement for a $55,000.00 payout made by the negligent dog owners’ insurance company. The gentleman worked for a heating oil company that services Monroe County. When it was time to make a delivery, Attorney Newell’s client pulled his truck into the driveway of the home of his Mount Pocono Pennsylvania customers.

The defendant husband walked out to greet him as he walked up towards the house, pulling the heating oil hose to the hook-up location. Soon thereafter, the defendant wife made the erroneous decision to let their dog out without any leash or restraint of any kind. Without warning, the Bangor PA resident was knocked to the ground by this vicious dog. The canine ignored multiple requests by its owner to halt this unprovoked PA dog attack. Finally, the homeowner grabbed a large branch and used it to chase his dog back into the house.

The Monroe County Pennsylvania dog bite victim received medical care on 3 occasions at a Lehigh Valley area Urgent Care facility. A tetanus shot was administered and he was prescribed antibiotics and pain medication. In the meantime, he telephoned the Monroe County dog bite injury lawyer. A free consultation took place at the victim’s employer’s office and Thomas J. Newell, Esquire began the process to accumulate the necessary evidence and documentation.

Unfortunately, the dog attack victim’s symptoms increased and he was referred to the Emergency Department of Easton Hospital. The pain was increasing, he had a fever and was experiencing chills and night sweats. The dog bite wounds were inflamed and possibly infected. Multiple tests were performed and stronger medication was prescribed.

Once the medical care ended, the Monroe County dog bite accident attorney obtained all of his client’s medical bills, medical records and photographs depicting permanent scars on his abdomen. They were sent to the homeowners’ defense adjuster, along with a 12 page demand letter outlining the case for a substantial dog attack settlement. Ultimately, the insurance carrier agreed with Attorney Newell’s analysis and a $55,000.00 payout was made. The client was happy to receive this large payment without the necessity of the Monroe County dog attack injury lawyer having to file a lawsuit versus his customers.

$ 50,000.00                                 Monroe County PA

On July 10, 2017, the Monroe County dog bite accident attorney negotiated a $50,000.00 Monroe County PA dog attack settlement. A Brodheadsville PA woman met a friend to go for a walk. The neighbor decided to bring along her two dogs. Her boxer jumped onto the victim and then the black lab bit her in the thigh. The vicious dog did not give any warning of the unprovoked attack. The dog owner failed to have her canines under control as required by the PA Dog Law.

The Monroe County dog attack victim was driven to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. A board certified plastic surgeon was called in to render expert treatment. The dead tissue was cut away and the surgeon used approximately two dozen stitches to repair the dog bite wounds. Augmentin was prescribed to fight off infection. A follow-up appointment with the surgeon took place after the ER treatment.

Once the sutures were removed, the physician advised her to keep out of the sun for the remainder of the summer, as well as to massage the sites of the dog bite wounds five to six times per day. She then phoned the Monroe County dog attack injury lawyer to review the case. Attorney Thomas J. Newell provided a free consultation at the location of his client’s choice – a meeting room at her employer’s corporate office. He detailed the civil litigation process and detailed his plans to maximize the settlement value of this PA animal attack claim.

It normally takes nine to twelve months for a dog attack wound to fully heal and the scar to mature. Once a year had passed, an appointment was scheduled with the plastic surgeon. Potential surgical options were discussed. However, the likelihood of significant improvement in the appearance of the scar was minimal and, therefore, the Poconos resident decided to conclude her medical care.

The attorney for dog attacks in Monroe County Pennsylvania ordered all of his client’s medical records and bills. He also obtained photographs taken right after the unprovoked dog bite attack and current ones depicting the permanency of the dog bite scars. A thorough settlement demand packet was sent to the dog owner’s insurance company representative. The woman was happy that the $50,000.00 dog bite settlement was obtained without having to sue her friend in the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania.

$ 42,500.00                                  Monroe County PA

On March 10, 2014, the Monroe County dog bite lawyer concluded a Monroe County dog bite claim settlement for a total payout of $42,500.00. In June of 2013, a woman was walking her golden retriever in a public park in Bartonsville Pennsylvania. An elderly woman with health issues was walking her two Akitas. She was unable to control the Akitas as they broke free and attacked the golden retriever and its owner.

The owner of the Akitas stood by and did nothing to stop this vicious, unprovoked dog attack. The golden retriever was mauled by the two Akitas and its owner was knocked down and bitten by the Akitas when she tried to rescue the family pet. Fortunately, a man who lived nearby heard the commotion and came running over to help. The Good Samaritan was able to grab the Akitas’ leashes and return them to the defendant’s garage.

The Monroe County PA dog bite victim was taken to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg PA. The ER doctors used six stitches to close the dog bite wounds to her left hand/arm. She was also given a tetanus shot and antibiotics. The Bartonsville Pennsylvania resident returned to PMC for two follow-up visits so the doctors could check the wounds to make sure there were no signs of infection. The Monroe County dog attack victim also endured the taking of an MRI on her left hand to ensure that there was no ligament damage.

Your lawyer for dog bites in Monroe County was hired to represent the PA dog bite victim within a week of this vicious, unprovoked animal attack. Attorney Newell put together a three-page Affidavit from his client detailing all of the facts regarding the attack by the Akitas. This document was forwarded to the PA Dog Warden who agreed with the Monroe County dog accident attorney that PA Dog Law charges should be filed versus the Akitas owner.

On July 15, 2013, the dog owner pled guilty to two charges of harboring a dangerous dog and two charges of failing to confine her dogs. The Monroe County PA dog injury lawyer sent to the defense adjuster photographs showing the permanent scarring caused by the PA dog attack, as well as medical bills, records and a copy of the detailed Affidavit describing the vicious attack. Attorney Thomas J. Newell was very happy to have obtained the Monroe County PA dog bite settlement of $42,500.00 without having to file a Monroe County dog bite lawsuit.

$ 30,000.00                                   Monroe County PA

In September of 2017, the attorney for dog attacks in Monroe County PA concluded a dog bite lawsuit with a $30,000.00 Pennsylvania dog attack settlement. Three years earlier, a Certified Public Accountant had instructed one of his clients to go to his home to pick up her tax returns. He and his wife owned a large adult male dog. The standard procedure was to keep the family pet behind a large gate when a customer was due to arrive at their residence.

Unfortunately, on this date the wife of the CPA had the woman’s tax returns in one hand and was holding her dog’s collar in the other. She was not able to control the canine. It lunged forward and attacked the unsuspecting victim. She sustained a significant dog bite wound to her right hand. Medical treatment was rendered at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania.

Three injections were needed – 1 was a tetanus shot and the other 2 were for medication purposes. IV’s included Morphine for pain, as well as antibiotics to fight off infection. Surgery was performed about a week later.

Her right palm was debrided and a skin graft was performed. Over 2 dozen physical therapy sessions were needed. Treatment modalities included manual therapy, strengthening exercises, scar management, pain management, de-sensitization, fine motor coordination exercises and splinting.

The Monroe County dog bite injury lawyer attempted to negotiate a settlement with the accountant’s homeowners insurance company,  but no agreement was forthcoming. A 9 page legal Complaint was filed with the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas in Stroudsburg PA. Documents were exchanged between the lawyers. The defense claimed that there were no prior attacks by their dog and, therefore, no proof of prior vicious propensities. A trial date of November 8, 2017 was set by Judge Sibrum.

Thereafter, the lawyers entered into serious settlement negotiations. The Monroe County dog attack injury attorney was able to negotiate a $30,000.00 Poconos dog bite settlement. He also obtained a significant reduction in the amount of money that was needed to repay Medicare for the medical bills they paid on behalf of Attorney Newell’s client. The pre-trial settlement avoided the necessity of the CPA and his client having to testify against each other at trial.

$ 25,000.00                                   Monroe County PA

In June of 2020, the attorney for dog bites in Monroe County, Pennsylvania finalized a $25,000.00 Monroe County dog bite settlement for a young boy. He had been playing basketball in his driveway at his parent’s home in Kunkletown PA. The neighbors’ pit bull mix got loose and ran over to him and bit his leg. The Monroe County dog attack victim was rushed to Palmerton Hospital.

The ER physician used approximately a dozen stitches to close the pit bull bite wound. The physician also gave him Lidocaine and tetanus shots, as well as administered anti-infection medication. Ten days later, his parents took him to Pocono Medical Center Urgent Care in Mt. Pocono where his sutures were removed. No further medical care was required.

Initially, the boy’s parents tried to represent him. They realized they weren’t capable of representing his legal interests and, therefore called Attorney Thomas J. Newell. The Monroe County dog bite accident lawyer provided a full home consultation at their Kunkletown home. Attorney Newell quickly got in touch with a neighbor who supplied him with background information regarding the vicious pit bull mix’s aggressive attitude.

The Monroe County animal attack attorney ordered, paid for and obtained his client’s medical records and medical bills. Updated photographs were also taken. Information received from the PA Department of Agriculture showed that there were no records of any prior attacks by the pit bull mix filed with Harrisburg. Attorney Newell provided the Defendants’ homeowners insurance company with a detailed 11 page factual and legal analysis.

Settlement negotiations resulted in a $25,000.00 pit bull attack settlement. The Monroe County dog attack injury lawyer filed a 6 page Petition for Minor’s Compromise Settlement with the Orphans’ Court Division of the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas. Judge Williamson approved the same in 2020.

$ 22,605.60                                 Monroe County PA

On Aug. 12, 2019, your lawyer for dog attacks in Monroe County, Pennsylvania negotiated a $22,607.60 Monroe County dog bite settlement on behalf of a Stroudsburg PA woman. The previous year, she left her home in Jackson Township for a leisurely stroll in her neighborhood with her dog. Being a responsible dog owner, she complied with the PA Dog Law by having her family pet on a leash.

Unfortunately, her neighbors made the erroneous decision to have their 2 large adult dogs watched by their children. Neither of them could control a German Shepherd nor a Labrador Retriever. Both dogs broke free, pursued and attacked the woman and her dog as they were walking on the street. She was bitten on her left hand, left elbow and left wrist.

The woman’s boxer was taken to a local vet’s office where its dog bite wounds were cleaned and antibiotics were administered. The Monroe County PA resident was rushed to Pocono Medical Center by her husband. She received a tetanus shot and a Lidocaine injection. Ten stitches were required to close the dog bite laceration. Abrasions to her left elbow and left knee were caused by being knocked down to the pavement by these aggressive dogs.

Follow-up medical care was rendered by a Monroe County orthopaedic surgeon. Once all of her treatment had concluded, the Monroe County dog bite injury attorney ordered her medical records and billing statements. Attorney Newell forwarded a detailed settlement demand packet to the dog owner’s homeowners insurance carrier. An appropriate settlement was agreed upon soon thereafter. The Monroe County woman was happy to have her case settled out of court.
