On September 1, 2016, your Lehigh Valley dog bite accident lawyer was hired by the mother of a pit bull attack victim. In the spring, her family was visiting someone in Whitehall PA when the unrestrained pit bull launched an unprovoked attack and bit off a portion of the child’s ear. Two surgeries were performed after the attack and multiple surgeries may be needed in the future.
The pit bull owner has been charged with violating the PA Dog Law by harboring a dangerous dog. Lehigh County Dog Warden Orlando Aguirre will be prosecuting the case on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Your Lehigh Valley dog attack attorney will be attending the District Justice Hearing in late September to provide whatever legal assistance is necessary and to prepare his clients for their testimony.
