Settlement reached for 2-year old girl attacked by dog
Our client, a 2-year old girl, was attacked by a family friend's dog while playing with it. She and her father were just visiting and had been advised that the dog was friendly. The little girl was immediately taken to the emergency room. She sustained two large facial lacerations that had to be closed and multiple puncture wounds. Unfortunately, her wounds became infected and required treatment with topical antibiotics as well as oral antibiotics. As a result of her injuries, our client has permanent scarring to her face and will have to undergo scar revision when she is much older and her skin has matured. In the meantime, she will have to live with the scars.
The case was settled out of court.

A lawsuit was filed and during the litigation, it was discovered that the dog had gotten loose and had chased another person several months prior to our client's incident.
