Not long ago, a woman was delivering medical supplies to a residence and as she was handing the resident documents to sign, the resident’s dog reached over a fence and bit the woman’s left hand. She went to Alexian Brothers Medical Center after suffering several shallow punctures and bleeding skin tears as well as exposure of subcutaneous tissue. This resulted in a 4cm by 3.5 cm scar on her left hand. With considerable experience representing victims of serious dog bites, the woman contacted the Chicago premises liability attorneys with Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. Ultimately, the case was settled for $25,000 from the at-fault party’s insurance for her injuries, pain, and suffering.
The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
