On August 28, 2019, your lawyer for dog bites in Northampton County, Pennsylvania sued negligent Rottweiler owners. Attorney Thomas J. Newell’s client was walking her dog on 11th Street in Bethlehem when an unleashed, unmuzzled and unsupervised Rottweiler attacked her and her family pet. The vicious canine bit both of her hands as she tried to save her dog. The unprovoked attack was only stopped when the owners’ son ran over and got his Rottweiler under control.
The adult male owner of the Rottweiler was charged with violating the PA Dog Law and The Rabies Prevention and Control in Domestic Animals and Wildlife Act by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was found guilty at both the District Justice level and the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas.
