The Carbon County dog attack victim tried to defend himself against the attacking pit bulls. The pit bull owner stood by and did nothing to help the young man as she “had a bad leg.” Finally, the Carbon County dog bite victim was able to control the dogs by grabbing their leashes.

The Albrightsville PA resident was taken by ambulance to Gnaden Heutten Memorial Hospital in Lehighton PA. The Carbon County dog attack victim had multiple dog bite wounds which required stitches to close. He was given several injections of Lidocaine and a tetanus shot.

After the Pennsylvania pit bull attack victim returned home and his dog attack wounds had stabilized, the young man’s parents analyzed their legal options. Whom should they hire? They were adamant that only the best Carbon County dog bite attorney would do. Attorney Thomas J. Newell answered all of their initial questions and promptly provided them with a free consultation in the comfort of their Carbon County residence.

The Carbon County dog attack lawyer obtained evidence regarding prior attacks by the defendants’ pit bulls. In 2013, the defendant husband lost control of the pit bulls and they attacked a jogger in Albrightsville Pennsylvania. The lawyer for dog bites in Carbon County spoke with the jogger’s husband.

Armed with proof of multiple violations of the PA Dog Law, the Carbon County dog bite lawyer argued to the dog owner’s insurance company that punitive damages would be awarded if the PA dog attack case were brought before a Carbon County jury. Less than a year after he was hired, the Carbon County dog bite injury lawyer convinced the homeowner’s insurance company to pay $202,695.95 – all without having to file a Carbon County dog attack lawsuit.

$ 115,000.00                                Carbon County, PA

In March of 2019, the Carbon County dog attack attorney concluded a $115,000.00 dog attack settlement for a Carbon County resident. The Albrightsville PA woman was visiting a friend in Whitehall Pennsylvania at an arranged date and time. She walked up to the front door. At the same time, the negligent dog owner opened a side door thereby allowing her German Shepherd and Labrador Retriever to escape the house. The visitor instinctively put up both arms to protect her face.

The vicious canines bit other arms and hands. The property owner was charged with 2 PA Dog Law violations – Failure to Confine and Harboring a Dangerous Dog. In the meantime, your lawyer for dog attacks in Carbon County PA provided a free home consultation and was hired by the Carbon County resident. Attorney Thomas J. Newell attended the Hearing before District Justice Robert C. Halal on 3/29/18. The defendant bizarrely claimed that the victim was at fault because the dogs noticed a shiny object in her hand and she was wearing a funny hat!

Lehigh County Dog Warden Orlando Aguirre obtained a conviction on both PA Dog Law charges with the assistance of the Carbon County dog attack injury attorney. The defendant is now required to pay an annual maintenance fee, as well as supply proof of liability insurance and post specific signs warning the public of the dangerous dog living in her residence. Past vicious propensities on the part of the German Shepherd were established at the D. J. Hearing.

Medical treatment was rendered at Lehigh Valley Hospital. The numerous severe dog attack wounds required surgery. A local anesthetic was injected into her left arm. 16 stitches were required to close 3 large dog bite wounds. A total of 10 x-rays were taken of her hands and forearms to rule out fractures. A tetanus shot was administered. Hydrocodone, Augmentin and Prednisone were prescribed. Follow-up medical care was provided at Palmerton Hospital and St. Luke’s Anderson Hospital in Easton PA.

Unfortunately, the dog bite wound to her left forearm became infected. There was swelling, puss and a fever. The Carbon County resident was diagnosed with cellulitis of the left upper limb. A new prescription for Augmentin was provided. Fortunately, the infection abated and no further treatment was required. The left arm healed properly but she was left with a large visible scar.

The Carbon County dog bite accident lawyer obtained all of the medical records, bills and photographs, as well as the PA Dog Warden Report. Attorney Newell put forth a detailed 17 page analysis for the defense adjuster. He then dropped off the settlement demand packet at the homeowner’s insurance company’s office and spent 30 minutes analyzing the case for the dog owners’ representative. Ultimately, the attorney for dog attacks in Carbon County Pennsylvania convinced the defense to make a $115,000.00 Carbon County dog attack settlement payout.

$ 40,000.00                            Carbon County PA

In June of 2021, your attorney for dog bites in Carbon County PA successfully completed a Jim Thorpe dog attack settlement for $40,000.00. In the summer of 2018, a man had ended his work for the day at a customer’s home. The work crew was building a detached garage in Carbon County. The homeowner asked him to come inside the home to check on a ceiling fan. As they reached the Defendants’ deck, their vicious boxer mix sprinted towards the worker, jumped up and bit his left hand.

The Carbon County dog attack victim sustained a deep laceration to his left hand. His wife drove him to St. Luke’s Gnaden Huetten Hospital in Lehighton, PA. Two of the dog bite wounds were so deep that they extended into the subcutaneous tissue. The Albrightsville, Pennsylvania resident was given an injection of a local anesthesia. Seven stitches were needed to close the lacerations. A tetanus shot was administered and three x-rays of his hand were taken. He was given a splint, as well as a prescription for Amoxicillin.

Follow-up medical treatment was provided by his family doctor. The 7 sutures were removed and, he was advised to continue to use the hand splint and finish his medication. Due to some ongoing complaints of numbness and diminished strength, the Carbon County resident was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon. He was evaluated by the specialist and underwent some physical therapy. There was some relatively minor scarring left on his hand.

In the meantime, your Carbon County dog attack injury lawyer had met with the gentleman near his Albrightsville residence to conclude the hiring process and began his aggressive advocacy. Attorney Thomas J. Newell filed a lawsuit, fought off the Defendants’ Preliminary Objections and continued the Discovery process. After the Plaintiffs’ Depositions, the attorneys agreed to a Mediation with a Scranton PA Mediator. The Carbon County dog bite lawyer was pleased to conclude the lawsuit with a $40,000.00 dog bite settlement.

 $ 22,880.00                                   Carbon County PA

In November of 2012, the Carbon County dog bite attorney obtained approval from a Carbon County Judge to settle a Carbon County PA dog bite claim for $22,880.00. On April 8, 2010, an Albrightsville PA resident alighted from a school bus in a Carbon County private development community. As she was walking on a pedestrian pathway, she was passed by a person walking the defendants’ German Shepherd.

Suddenly, and without warning, the vicious dog jumped up and tried to bite the girl’s face. The Carbon County dog attack victim instinctively threw up her right arm to protect her face. She sustained puncture wounds to her right arm and right wrist. The Albrightsville PA dog bite victim was rushed to Gnaden Huetten Memorial Hospital in Lehighton Pennsylvania.

Since it could not be determined whether the German Shepherd was properly vaccinated, the Carbon County dog bite victim was given the first of a series of 5 rabies vaccine injections. Her family had to drive her back to Lehighton on 4 other occasions to complete the rabies vaccination sequence.

On June 30, 2010, the Carbon County dog bite injury attorney attended a District Justice hearing in Carbon County where the negligent dog owners were found guilty of violating Section 305 of the PA Dog Law – “Failure to Confine.” They also violated the Pennsylvania Rabies Prevention and Control in Domestic Animals and Wildlife Act by failing to have the German Shepherd properly vaccinated for rabies.

The Carbon County dog bite lawyer obtained a signed Affidavit from a Carbon County resident who described how she was attacked by this same German Shepherd in the summer of 2009. This investigative material, along with the lack of a rabies vaccination allowed the Carbon County dog bite attorney to make a viable claim for punitive damages.

Attorney Newell filed a Minor’s Compromise Petition with the Carbon County Court of Common Pleas. The Carbon County dog attack attorney attended a hearing in Jim Thorpe PA before Senior Judge Richard W. Webb who approved the Carbon County dog attack settlement.
