On 10/21/13, Orphans’ Court Judge Theodore Fritsch of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas approved a $53,000.00 payout for a Bucks County dog bite victim. Attorney Thomas J. Newell had been hired by the boy’s mother after the June 2012 dog attack. The 13 year-old had walked thru the defendant’s front door with her permission when her unrestrained pit bull launched an unprovoked attack.
The PA dog bite victim was treated at Doylestown Hospital. An emergency room doctor used 9 stitches to close the dog bite wounds to his hands and right leg. Soon thereafter, the negligent pit bull owner was charged with harboring a dangerous and unlicensed dog. She pled guilty to those PA Dog Law citations.
There were several small permanent scars left on both of his hands/wrists, as well as his right leg. Fortunately, the scars were so small that they did not need plastic surgery to repair. Attorney Newell was able to obtain the $53,000.00 settlement without having to file a lawsuit. Set up your free home dog bite consultation by called Attorney Newell at 1-800-980-4842.
