$ 479,000.00                                        Lansdale PA

A Lansdale area dog attack claim was settled by the Lansdale dog bite attorney for a total settlement payout of $479,000.00. A young boy was playing in Worcester Township Pennsylvania. A neighbor’s German Shepherd got loose and attacked the innocent victim causing severe facial dog bite wounds. The PA dog bite victim was rushed to Montgomery Hospital in Norristown PA.

A prominent Montgomery County plastic surgeon was called in to perform emergency surgery to repair the facial lacerations. The Pennsylvania dog attack victim was instructed to wear a facial splint during all waking hours over the next one and a half years. He also underwent a second surgical intervention a year later in order to reformat the corner of his mouth.

In the meantime, the boy’s parents knew the importance of hiring the best Lansdale dog bite lawyer who would aggressively represent their son’s legal interests.  The Montco dog attack lawyer obtained information which proved that the vicious dog had bitten four other people prior to this unprovoked animal attack. Attorney Newell collected the medical records, bills and surgery photos, including current photographs showing the permanent facial scars. The attorney for dog bites in Lansdale PA met with the defense adjuster and her supervisor in Plymouth Meeting PA.

The Lansdale dog attack injury lawyer made a compelling case that the dog owners would be responsible for both compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages due to their recklessness in not properly confining their aggressive dog. Once they decided to keep their dog in the suburban neighborhood where many children live, it was incumbent upon them to take every precaution necessary to ensure that their German Shepherd did not get loose.

Ultimately, the defendants’ homeowners insurance company and the attorney for dog attacks in Lansdale agreed to a structured settlement annuity payout of tax-free money totaling $479,000.00. Attorney Thomas J. Newell filed a Minor’s Compromise Petition with the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. A Hearing was held in Norristown Pennsylvania before Judge Ott of the Orphans’ Court who approved the Lansdale dog bite claim settlement.

$ 101,000.00                                 Lansdale PA

In June of 2021, your attorney for dog bites in Lansdale PA successfully concluded a $101,000.00 dog attack settlement for a Lansdale resident. Just 5 months earlier, a woman had been an invited guest at a party in Bucks County. The residents owned an adult male rescue pit bull. The vicious dog inexplicably initiated an unprovoked attack.

A week later, the woman called Attorney Thomas J. Newell and the Lansdale dog bite injury lawyer met with her in the comfort of her Lansdale home. He obtained a significant amount of information regarding prior attacks by this dangerous dog. Even though the pit bull had bitten others in the past, the pit bull owners bizarrely chose not to safely restrain their vicious dog in a safe place away from their invited guests.

The Bucks County dog attack victim was especially pleased that Attorney Newell had obtained the maximum settlement amount without having to file a lawsuit in Doylestown PA vs. her friends.

$$$$$                                                  Lansdale PA

In July of 2015, your Lansdale dog bite lawyer obtained a settlement for a Lansdale PA dog attack victim. In February, the man was walking in a public alley near Walnut Street. Without any warning or provocation, a pit bull mix pursued and attacked him on his right leg. The aggressive dog was tethered to a long cable that allowed the pit bull mix complete and unfettered access to the alley and anyone walking through it.

The Lansdale dog bite victim had an open dog bite wound to his right calf. He received medical care that evening at the Emergency Room. The ER physician administered a tetanus shot, gave him antibiotics and advised the Montgomery County PA resident to use antibacterial ointment. Since dog bites that broke the skin in the victim’s legs could be susceptible to infection, detailed instructions were given to the gentleman regarding symptoms he should be aware of.

Because of the past history of vicious propensities exhibited by this pit bull mix, the Montgomery County resident knew it was essential to employ the best Lansdale dog bite lawyer. The Lansdale dog attack lawyer met with the victim at his home and identified the best course of legal action to take versus the negligent dog owner. The Lansdale Police Department Report identified four prior unprovoked attacks by this pit bull mix. Attorney Newell sent the report to the homeowner’s insurance company. The lawyer for dog attacks in Lansdale PA asserted that the pit bull owner would be liable for punitive damages if the case was not settled prior to a jury trial.

Attorney Thomas J. Newell sent the defense adjuster a detailed six-page settlement demand letter with attached medical records, billing statements and photographs. The Lansdale dog bite accident lawyer was able to obtain a complete settlement of the Montco dog attack claim within five months of the unprovoked animal attack. Attorney Newell even personally dropped off the settlement check to the victim at his home. The Lansdale PA dog bite injury attorney looks forward to speaking with you regarding your Montgomery County dog attack case.
