Client Bitten by Neighbor’s Pit Bull
This was a particularly tough case because it had to be brought in a very conservative venue. The insurance companies’ lawyers initially stated that a jury from this right wing pool would never give our client a penny. Our client was a chef whose thumb was crushed when he was bitten by a neighbor’s pit bull. The injury required emergency surgery and extensive physical therapy. The insurance companies for the neighbor, and the apartment building contributed to the settlement. (This settlement took place during the Covid-19 crisis of 2020 when the court system was completely shut down.)
