In September of 2020, the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County PA, Orphans’ Court Division approved the ten-page Minor’s Compromise Settlement Petition and attached Order prepared by the Bucks County dog attack injury attorney. The pleading alleged that the Minor Plaintiff was invited to the Defendants’ home to play with their son.

When the Defendants’ son opened the front door, the homeowners’ pit bull mix ran out. The vicious dog was unrestrained, unmuzzled and unsupervised. It pursued and attacked the Bucks County resident. He suffered severe facial/neck/chin lacerations. The boy was rushed to the Emergency Room of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He was admitted to the Trauma Unit.

The Bucks County dog attack victim underwent surgery – Complex Laceration Neck/Face Repair and Debridement. He was admitted to the hospital and discharged 3 days later. Follow-up scar revision surgery was performed the next year. In the meantime, the Bucks County dog bite injury lawyer provided a free home consultation to the boy’s parents. Attorney Thomas J. Newell immediately contacted the pit bull owners’ homeowners insurance company and supplied them with sufficient information to set up their file “reserve.”

A Right-to-Know request filed in Harrisburg did not result in any past documented incidents of prior attacks. The information obtained from the parents’ health insurance company identified medical payments made totaling nearly $22,000.00. Attorney Thomas J. Newell was able to obtain a reduction of in excess of $1,100.00.

A structured settlement annuity plan was purchased with a tax-free total payout of in excess of $240,800.00. The A+XV rated insurance company guaranteed payments of in excess of $60,200.00 for years 18 through 21. This large settlement was obtained by Attorney Newell less than 2 years after the vicious pit bull attack.

$ 300,000.00                                    Bucks County PA

In May of 2019, your lawyer for dog attacks in Bucks County PA finalized a $300,000.00 Bucks County pit bull attack settlement. Several years earlier, the teenager visited a friend’s house in Doylestown, He was outside on their driveway when the homeowners’ unleashed, unmuzzled and unsupervised pit bull mauled him. One of the property owners came out of the house and had to jump on top of the pit bull to stop the unprovoked attack.

The Bucks County resident was rushed to Doylestown Hospital. He was immediately taken in for emergency surgery that lasted several hours. The surgeon repaired 15 different pit bull attack wounds on his face, left wrist, left arm, back, right shoulder and both feet. Unfortunately, the lacerations to his face kept opening up and bleeding. There were multiple layers of stitches. Some of the sutures were “spitting” up to the surface of his face.

Due to the severity of the pit bull attack injuries suffered by their son, his parents were determined to obtain the best Bucks County dog attack lawyer. After they completed their research, the Doylestown residents called Attorney Thomas J. Newell. The Bucks County dog bite accident attorney was hired approximately a month after this vicious unprovoked pit bull attack. He immediately put the pit bull owners’ insurance company on notice that nothing short of a settlement offer of their entire policy limit would suffice. It was Attorney Newell’s goal to settle the case for the maximum amount possible in the quickest time frame available to him.

In the meantime, the boy’s parents placed cream on his face 3x per day, continued giving him anti-infection medication and treated the open dog bite wounds with hydrogen peroxide. Once the lacerations had stabilized, the Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer obtained the medical records from Doylestown Hospital, as well as current photographs showing permanent facial scarring.

The defendants’ homeowners insurance carrier agreed with Attorney Thomas J. Newell that they owed their $300,000.00 liability policy limit. The paperwork was signed the day after his 18th birthday at the Bucks County animal bite lawyer’s office in Perkasie. Both the young man and his parents were happy that he didn’t have to sue his classmate. Attorney Newell also obtained a 25% discount on the health insurance carrier’s subrogation lien, which amount he passed along to the Doylestown resident.

$ 225,000.00                            Bucks County PA

In April of 2018, the Bucks County dog bite lawyer obtained a $225,000.00 Bucks County dog attack settlement. A man had mowed his front yard in Bensalem PA. He then headed toward his backyard via the communal alleyway between his and his neighbors’ home. Suddenly and without any warning, the defendants’ pit bull dug under their fence. It then proceeded to pursue, attack and bite the Lower Bucks County PA resident.

The gentleman was only able to escape further serious injury by jumping over his own fence into the safety of his enclosed backyard. Fearing the relentless pit bull wouldn’t stop, he hopped onto a storage bin and ultimately got on top of his shed. The pit bull continued to pace back and forth by the fence looking for a way to scale it and continue its vicious dog attack. Ultimately, the negligent Bensalem pit bull owners corralled their aggressive dog.

The Bucks County dog bite attack victim was rushed by ambulance to Aria Health Hospital in Philadelphia. The ER physician observed a 10 x 6 centimeter gaping wound to the man’s tibia. The dog attack wound was debrided, dead tissue cut away, anti-infection medication given and a tetanus shot was administered. Amoxicillin was prescribed and he was warned to closely monitor the dog bite wound.

Unfortunately, after several days a serious infection set in. The Bucks County dog bite victim was hospitalized for 6 days. He was diagnosed as suffering from cellulitis. His leg was swollen, red, tender to the touch and had pus oozing out of the infected areas. Surgery under general anesthesia was needed to cut away all of the necrotic tissue/skin. Medication was administered via IV’s.

Four days after his hospital discharge, the Bucks County dog attack attorney met with the gentleman in his Bensalem home. Attorney Newell performed a detailed examination of the entire dog bite attack scene. He was very pleased to receive news that the pit bull owners had been charged with Failure to Confine their pit bull and that they had plead guilty to the same.

After the medical care had ended, the Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer obtained hundreds of pages of medical records, medical bills and several dozen photographs documenting the various stages of healing concerning the dog attack wounds. Attorney Newell authored a 14 page settlement demand letter which detailed all of the facts regarding the unprovoked dog attack, as well as the significant injuries inflicted upon the innocent victim. Happily, the Bucks County PA dog bite accident attorney was able to obtain the $225,000.00 settlement without filing a PA dog attack lawsuit.

In the spring of 2015, the Bucks County dog attack lawyer filed a Petition for Minor’s Compromise with the Bucks County Orphan’s Court in Doylestown Pennsylvania. The Bucks County dog attack attorney’s Petition described an unprovoked dog attack upon a Bucks County resident. The boy was riding his bicycle and talking to his friend when an unleashed Golden Retriever attacked him in Richlandtown PA in October of 2013.

Physicians at St. Luke’s Hospital in Quakertown performed surgery to close the dog bite facial wounds. Due to the uncertainty over whether the attacking dog had been properly immunized, the Bucks County dog attack victim received rabies injections on four different dates.

The attorney for dog bites in Bucks County PA urged the young boy’s father to have him examined by an experienced plastic surgeon. One year after the unprovoked Bucks County PA dog attack, the specialist evaluated the dog attack wounds. It was his opinion that plastic surgery would not diminish the visibility of the facial scars.

Once the medical care had concluded, Attorney Newell obtained the medical records and current photographs and forwarded a detailed demand package to the dog owners’ homeowners insurance company. The Bucks County dog bite injury attorney negotiated a settlement which included a structured settlement annuity plan. This financial arrangement will provide tax free payments to the Richlandtown PA dog attack victim at ages 18, 19, 20 and 21.

At a Hearing in Doylestown PA before Bucks County Orphans’ Court Judge James M. McMaster, he approved the $152,000.00 Bucks County dog bite settlement on May 21, 2015.

Attorney Newell will come to your Bucks County home to describe the legal process that will take place regarding your Bucks County dog attack claim.

$ 148,544.00                                 Bucks County PA

In February of 2011, your attorney for dog bites in Bucks County, Pennsylvania obtained approval from the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas to settle a rottweiler attack case for a total of $148,544.00. In January of 2009, a young boy went with his parents and sister to visit his grandparents’ home in Levittown PA. Also present was his uncle who owned a rottweiler. Suddenly and without any warning, the vicious dog launched an unprovoked dog attack. The Bucks County dog bite victim sustained severe facial lacerations.

The child was immediately taken to the ER Department of St. Mary’s Medical Center in Lower Bucks County. Plastic surgery was necessary. Over 2 dozen stitches were required to close the most severe facial dog bite wound. Several days later, his parents contacted Attorney Thomas J. Newell. The Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer gave them a free home consultation. He then provided the dog owner’s homeowners insurance company with a detailed description of the injuries, as well as photos taken both before and after the first plastic surgery operation.

Unfortunately, due to the severity of the dog attack wounds, additional plastic surgery operations were required in October of 2009 and October of 2010. Once the permanency of the facial scar was established, the Bucks County animal bite attorney obtained a copy of the voluminous medical records, complete billing statements and current scar photographs. A lengthy and detailed settlement demand letter was sent to the defense adjuster.

The settlement negotiations ultimately concluded with an agreement to fund a structured settlement annuity. This financial plan would make 4 payouts between the victim’s 18th and 21st birthdays, totaling a guaranteed tax-free payout of $148,544.00. The Bucks County PA animal attack lawyer filed a Petition for Minor’s Compromise Settlement with the Bucks County Orphans’ Court division. An Orphans’ Court judge held a hearing, approved the Petition and congratulated Attorney Newell on the Bucks County dog attack settlement. The boy’s parents were especially happy that the pre-litigation settlement was able to be obtained without the necessity of suing his grandparents and/or uncle.

$ 128,000.00                                     Bucks County

In January of 2021, your Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer successfully concluded a case on behalf of a Perkasie dog bite victim for a total settlement amount of $128,000.00.  Three years earlier, a high school student was at a holiday party in Telford, Pennsylvania. Even though the defendants’ Akita had attacked 2 people and another dog before, they exercised very poor judgment by allowing it to be in the basement with their guests.

Suddenly and without any warning, the Akita launched an unprovoked attack upon the unsuspecting young woman. She was rushed to Grandview Hospital in Sellersville, PA. A surgeon twice injected her with Lidocaine. He used 4 stitches to close one dog attack wound and 3 more stitches to deal with another facial laceration. She was given prescriptions for Augmentin and Ondansetron.

The Bucks County native had 3 follow-up visits with the staff at Pennridge Pediatric Associates to ensure that no infection would set in, as well as the removal of the 7 sutures. Her parents took her to be evaluated by 2 different board certified plastic surgeons. Both concluded that surgical intervention was not required at that time. Medical bills incurred totaled approximately $3,200.00.

The Akita owners’ insurance company denied liability in this case without even giving the Bucks County dog bite law firm the full ability to detail the defendants’ negligence and recklessness. Therefore, in February of 2020, Attorney Thomas J. Newell filed a 16 page lawsuit versus the Akita owners in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. The attorneys exchanged Discovery documents and agreed to a Mediation prior to the scheduling of Depositions.

The lawyer for dog bites in Bucks County PA provided the Mediator with a 9 page Mediation Memorandum. Attorney Thomas J. Newell set forth the basis for a Negligence Per Se claim as the result of a violation of the PA Dog Law. He quoted Section 502-A – Harboring a Dangerous Dog. The Perkasie dog attack lawyer itemized the 3 prior acts of vicious propensities. Attorney Newell further argued that the defendants’ decision to allow their Akita to roam freely among their guests was a reckless decision that resulted in a 3rd unprovoked attack upon a human.

On 12/21/20, the plaintiff, along with her parents, attended a Mediation Settlement Conference in Doylestown PA. After legal arguments were made, negotiations took place which ultimately concluded in a $128,000.00 total payout to the Perkasie PA dog attack victim.

$ 101,000.00                                Bucks County PA

In June of 2021, your Bucks County PA dog bite accident attorney concluded a pit bull mauling case for a $101,000.00 insurance policy limit settlement. The Perkasie dog attack lawyer was hired to represent a Montgomery County PA woman who was savagely attacked by a pit bull in Pipersville, Pennsylvania.

The Lansdale resident was an invited guest at a house party when the vicious dog unexpectedly attacked her without any warning. Having an unrestrained, unleashed and unmuzzled pit bull interacting with non-family members is a recipe for disaster. Responsible pit bull owners should place their dog in a closed room, crate or behind a sturdy gate to prevent such a tragedy.

The pit bull attack victim was immediately taken to the Lehigh Valley Trauma Center. Nearly 2 dozen stitches were required to close the severe facial pit bull attack wound. Thankfully, the anti-infection medication worked to perfection and there were no post-surgery complications. Follow-up treatment identified a well-healed scar that would most likely require future scar revision surgery.

Attorney Thomas J. Newell provided the Defendants’ homeowners insurance company with proof of prior vicious propensities via evidence of 3 previous attacks by this dangerous dog. The lawyer for dog attacks in Bucks County PA detailed for the defense adjuster an overwhelming factual basis for the recovery of Punitive Damages if a dog bite lawsuit were to be filed in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. The Perkasie dog bite lawyer was pleased to have obtained the maximum amount possible for the PA pit bull attack victim.

$ 71,000.00                                   Bucks County PA

In March of 2018, the attorney for dog attacks in Bucks County, Pennsylvania concluded a $71,000.00 settlement for a Doylestown pit bull attack claim. A young woman had stopped by to see her father who had recently remarried. Within several minutes of her arrival, she was mauled by her father’s unleashed and unsupervised adult male pit bull. This unprovoked dog bite attack was only stopped by the efforts of her stepmother who was forced to hit the dog and literally drag it off the teenager.

Medical personnel at Doylestown Hospital expertly cleaned the multiple pit bull attack wounds that were all over her buttocks and thighs. Antibiotics were prescribed and she was injected with a tetanus shot. Follow-up care was needed thru her family physician and a local Urgent Care Medical Unit. Once the dog bite wounds healed, a plastic surgeon performed two surgeries in order to minimize the appearance and problems associated with the permanent scars.

The young lady and her mother tried to deal with her father’s liability insurance company on their own but their efforts were unsuccessful. Thereafter, the Bucks County dog bite accident lawyer met with them in their Coopersburg PA home. He laid out a detailed plan to bring about a successful resolution of the pit bull attack claim. Attorney Newell ordered, paid for and obtained his client’s medical bills and records. A professional photographer was sent to the client’s home in order to obtain the best possible photographs to document the permanent scars.

Initially, the insurance company failed to make a reasonable offer. Attorney Newell concluded that the carrier didn’t think that the daughter would sue her father. The Bucks County animal attack attorney called their bluff. He filed a Writ of Summons versus the pit bull owner. Settlement talks began anew. Finally, a $71,000.00 pit bull attack settlement was mutually agreed upon.

$ 53,000.00                                   Bucks County PA

On October 21, 2013, the Bucks County dog bite attorney was granted approval from a Bucks County Judge to settle a PA dog bite claim for $53,000.00. A 13 year-old boy visited his friend in Hulmeville Bucks County on 6/8/12. The Bucks County resident entered thru the front door after receiving permission from his friend’s mother.

Suddenly, an unleashed pit bull came charging after the boy and bit his hands and right leg. The Bucks County dog attack victim was taken to Doylestown Hospital where the ER doctors used 9 stitches to close the dog bite wounds. His mother later took him to a Bucks County orthopaedic surgeon to make sure the dog bite wounds were properly healing.

The Bucks County dog bite lawyer obtained a notarized affidavit describing a prior attack by the defendant’s pit bull. This enabled the attorney for dog bites in Bucks County to allege that his client would be able to recover punitive damages versus the negligent pit bull owner if the case went to trial in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.

Once the medical records and photographs depicting some permanent scarring were obtained, the Bucks County dog bite attorney negotiated the $53,000.00 dog attack settlement with the defendant’s insurance company. A structured settlement annuity plan was approved by Bucks County Orphans’ Court Judge C. Theodore Fritsch, Jr.

$ 42,169.11                                      Bucks County PA

On October 17, 2014, the lawyer for dog bites in Bucks County PA concluded a Bucks County Pennsylvania dog bite claim for $42,169.11. In November of 2012, a Doylestown Township man was walking on his front lawn when his neighbors’ unleashed and unsupervised border collie attacked him. The Bucks County PA dog attack victim was bitten on the left calf. His wife drove him to Doylestown Hospital in Doylestown PA.

The Emergency Room doctor injected the dog bite victim’s left leg with Lidocaine. The dog bite wounds were cleaned and dead tissue was debrided. Sutures were used to close the lacerations. Antibiotics were administered and he was advised to seek follow-up medical care. The Doylestown dog attack victim was seen by his family doctor who treated him for cellulitis and an abscess in his leg. Physical therapy was provided at a Bucks County facility via 55 appointments through the summer of 2013.

The Bucks County dog bite injury victim was a nationally ranked long distance runner for his age group and the dog bite wounds to his left leg caused him great pain when  running. He also missed nearly a month from work. The PA dog attack victim used a walker to get around his home for several weeks after the date of the unprovoked dog attack.

The Bucks County dog bite accident lawyer put together a lengthy settlement demand package for the defense adjuster to review. This included a nine-page settlement demand letter with accompanying medical records, wage loss reports and photographs. On 9/10/14, the Bucks County dog bite injury attorney commenced settlement negotiations with the dog owners’ homeowners insurance company.

Attorney Thomas J. Newell was pleased to have obtained the Bucks County dog bite compensation payout just five weeks later. His client appreciated the fact that the PA dog bite case was settled without having to file a Bucks County dog bite lawsuit versus his Doylestown Township Pennsylvania neighbor.

$ 37,500.00                                   Bucks County PA

On January 4, 2011, Bucks County dog attack attorney, Thomas J. Newell, Esq. finalized a $37,500.00 Bucks County dog attack settlement. On 4/23/10, a Perkasie PA resident drove his employer’s propane truck to Bensalem PA to make a delivery at a home on Byberry Road in Bensalem Township Pennsylvania. The deliveryman knocked on the front door and when the homeowner opened the door, his unrestrained pit bull came charging out of the home.

The vicious dog knocked the Bucks County dog attack victim down and bit him all over his body. The unprovoked dog attack was only stopped when the pit bull was hit multiple times with a rock. This provided the homeowner the opportunity to drag the pit bull into the house. The deliveryman then rushed back to his truck and reported the dog bite attack to his employer.

The Bucks County PA dog bite victim was taken to Lansdale Pennsylvania to receive treatment at the Central Montgomery Medical Center. Dog bite wounds were identified on the mans’ abdomen, left knee, left leg and right hand. Since the pit bull was not up-to-date with its shots, the Bucks County PA resident was given a rabies vaccination, as well as antibiotics. He returned to the ER the next day due to an increase of pain in his left knee and left leg. The deliveryman had several follow-up visits with his family doctor and a hand specialist due to ongoing complaints of numbness and weakness at the location of the dog attack wounds.

In the meantime, the Bucks County dog attack lawyer attended a hearing on 9/17/10 before District Justice Leonard Brown in Bensalem PA. The defendant dog owner was convicted of violating the PA Dog Law by harboring a dangerous dog and failing to have the pit bull properly vaccinated for rabies. The Bucks County dog bite victim and the Bucks County Dog Warden testified on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

On November 30, 2010, the Bucks County dog bite injury lawyer forwarded a detailed settlement demand letter to the defense adjuster, along with medical bills, medical records and photographs. Attorney Newell also argued that punitive damages could be awarded by a jury if the case were to proceed to trial. Less than 30 days later, the parties agreed to the $37,500.00 dog bite claim payment without the necessity of Attorney Newell having to file a Bucks County dog attack lawsuit.

$ 33,500.00                                      Bucks County PA

On October 6, 2016, the attorney for dog bites in Bucks County Pennsylvania concluded a $33,500.00 dog attack settlement claim after an unprovoked dog bite attack that took place in 2015. An independent contractor was working for a major communications company in Philadelphia in a public alley behind some row homes. A homeowner owned a pit bull that was kept in the backyard without any leash or physical restraint other than an old fence.

As the worker proceeded up the alleyway, the vicious dog jumped up over the insufficient fence and bit him several times on his right arm. The pit bull attack victim received medical attention at St. Luke’s Hospital in Quakertown PA. The dog bite wounds were treated with topical antibiotics, a tetanus shot and Augmentin was prescribed.

Unfortunately, his right arm became infected and he was admitted to St. Luke’s in Quakertown. The dog bite victim was diagnosed as suffering from cellulitis and an abscess of his right upper arm. The treating physician ordered that Ampicillin, sodium chloride, morphine sulfate and Ondansetron HCL be administered intravenously. He was also injected with Enoxaparin sodium.

Shortly after he was released from the hospital, the gentleman met with the lawyer for dog attacks in Bucks County PA in his Perkasie office. Attorney Newell aggressively dealt with the negligent dog owner’s insurance carrier. He provided them with a video of the aggressive pit bull, as well as the medical bills and records documenting his client’s medical treatment.

The Bucks County dog bite accident attorney then focused his attention on the pit bull owner’s violation of the Pennsylvania Rabies Prevention and Control in Domestic Animals and Wildlife Act. She lied when she initially claimed that the pit bull was up-to-date with its rabies vaccinations. Thomas J. Newell, Esquire argued to the defense adjuster that the dog owner’s intentional decision to violate Pennsylvania Law recklessly exposed his client to the possibility of being infected with the rabies virus.

The threat of a punitive damage claim brought the homeowner’s insurance company to the bargaining table. The Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer was pleased to have obtained the $32,500.00 settlement without having to file a Bucks County Pennsylvania dog bite injury lawsuit with the Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown PA.

$ 30,000.00                                  Bucks County PA

On Jan. 18, 2018, the Bucks County PA dog attack injury attorney concluded a successful resolution of a legal claim versus negligent owners of a mixed breed dog. The Bucks County dog bite attack settlement was $30,000.00. During late 2016, a woman was walking in her Warrington Pennsylvania neighborhood. Suddenly and without any warning, an unleashed mixed breed canine came running after her. One of the owners yelled at the vicious dog to stop.  However, it ignored her command.

The Warrington, PA resident was bitten multiple times on her leg, as well as on her buttocks. She was driven to Doylestown Hospital by her husband. The dog bite wounds were cleaned and dressed. Antibiotics were administered and prescribed. The woman was discharged from the Emergency Room and advised to seek follow-up care. She saw an internal medicine specialist and set-up an appointment with her family doctor.

In the meantime, a telephone call was placed to Attorney Newell. The Bucks County dog bite injury lawyer provided a free home consultation to the woman and her husband within 7 days of the unprovoked Bucks County PA dog attack. A detailed plan was outlined regarding maximizing the value of this Pennsylvania dog bite claim. Thomas J. Newell, Esquire advised his client to keep a close eye on the dog bite wounds because of their ability to become easily infected.

Unfortunately, the dog bite wounds to her leg did show signs of infection: swelling, discoloration and oozing pus. The family physician cut open the dog bite lacerations, drained the fluid and cut away the dead tissue. Once the medical care had ended, the attorney for dog bites in Bucks County, Pennsylvania ordered the medical records, bills and current photographs.

In his settlement demand package, Attorney Newell stressed that the defendant dog owners violated Section 305 of the PA Dog Law by failing to have their mixed breed dog confined. He was adamant that a jury would find them 100% at fault for his client’s injuries. Ultimately, the dog owners’ insurance carrier relented. The Bucks County dog bite accident lawyer prevailed and obtained a $30,000.00 dog attack settlement without having to file a lawsuit versus his client’s neighbor.

$ 22,000.00                                 Bucks County PA

On August 26, 2010, the Bucks county dog bite attorney received a $22,000.00 payment to settle a Bucks County PA dog attack claim.

The Bucks County dog attack victim received additional medical care at the Foot & Ankle Specialists of Bucks County. She was diagnosed as suffering with a “nerve injury to her right foot in the area of the dorsal cutaneous nerve.” The Bucks County resident returned to receive 2 injections to help alleviate the pain.

Once the medical care ended, the Bucks County dog bite accident attorney forwarded the medical records and photographs to the negligent dog owner’s insurance company. The $22,000.00 Bucks County dog bite settlement was obtained by the Bucks County dog attack attorney without having to file a PA dog attack lawsuit.

$ 18,099.50                             Bucks County PA

On June 18, 2018, the Bucks County dog bite law firm settled a Quakertown (18951) dog attack case. A woman was bitten by another customer’s dog while she was in the waiting room at a Bucks County Veterinarian Office. She sustained multiple puncture wounds that broke the skin on her left leg. Medical treatment was rendered by Grandview Health. Side effects from her antibiotics were troublesome.

In the meantime, your Bucks County PA dog bite accident lawyer provided a free consultation and immediately began his aggressive representation of the Richlandtown (18955) resident. Attorney Thomas J. Newell told the Defendant’s insurance carrier that he would make the focal point of a trial the dog owner’s callous reaction to this unprovoked attack. The defense relented and the settlement was reached pre-litigation.

On July 10, 2017, the lawyer for dog attacks in Bucks County Pennsylvania resolved a Bucks County dog bite case for a settlement of $17,500.00. Two years earlier, a Northampton County woman had seen an ad in a local newspaper advertising dogs up for adoption. She called the Bucks County area rescue organization and was assured that the mixed breed dog she inquired about was sweet.

She arrived in Quakertown PA on the date and time agreed to and followed all of the instructions provided to her by a staff member of the rescue shelter. While standing in place, she attempted to give the Cane Corso/Mastiff mix a treat. Suddenly, and without any provocation, the mixed breed dog lunged forward and bit her right hand – even though the dog was on a leash. The startled woman was immediately transferred to the ER at St. Luke’s Quakertown Hospital.

The dog attack wound was stabilized, cleansed and irrigated. Seven stitches were needed to partially close the gaping wound. A tetanus shot was given, as well as an injection of Lidocaine. Medications to fight off infection and reduce pain were also provided. Two days later, she was examined by her family doctor. Fearing a potential serious hand injury, the physician referred her patient to a Lehigh Valley hand surgeon who agreed to see the Pennsylvania dog bite victim that very same day.

The orthopedic doctor gave her a wrist splint to use and reviewed with her the importance of taking the antibiotic medication. Follow-up visits were necessary in order to ensure that no infection had set in. Meanwhile, the Lehigh Valley resident also wanted to ensure that her legal rights were protected. The Quakertown dog attack injury attorney gave her a free consultation in the comfort of her Bath PA home. Attorney Newell assured her that he would take care of all legal issues in order to allow her to solely concentrate on her recovery.

Follow-up appointments with the orthopedic surgeon were interspersed with frequent physical therapy visits over the course of the next several weeks. Fortunately, the dog bite wounds healed without any infections. While the Bucks County dog attack injury lawyer was unable to successfully settle the dog bite claim with the defense adjuster, Thomas J. Newell, Esq. was able to find areas of agreement with the defense attorney. The $17,500.00 Bucks County PA dog bite settlement was happily accepted by Attorney Newell’s client.

The negligent dog owner failed to control a mixed breed pit bull and it pursued the mother, the daughter and their puppy.

The pit bull bit the Boston Terrier, grabbed it by its neck and shook it violently causing significant injuries.

On March 13, 2014, the attorney for dog attacks in Bucks County PA settled a Bucks County dog bite case. In July of 2013, a United States Postal Service employee was delivering mail to a homeowner in Perkasie Pennsylvania. The Bucks County residents negligently allowed their mixed breed dog to run loose without any restraints or supervision.

The mail carrier was bitten on his left calf. The skin was broken with multiple puncture dog bite wounds.

The dog attack wounds were cleansed, a tetanus shot was administered and he was given antibiotics to fight infection.

A week later, he returned to Grand View Hospital where they treated him for an infected dog bite wound to his leg. The Emergency Room physician cut into his leg in order to drain out the build-up of fluid and injected each of the four dog bite wounds with anti-infection medication. The mailman was in significant pain while attempting to complete his mail route over the next several weeks and dealing with this infected leg.

The lawyer for dog attacks in Bucks County provided the defense adjuster with a detailed Affidavit. This document proved specific facts of a prior attack by this vicious dog.
