Recently, d’Oliveira & Associates Attorney Robin Gouveia negotiated a $175,000 settlement for a Central Falls, RI client who suffered a dog bite. While our client was walking near her home in Central Falls, RI she was attacked by a dog, and bit on her hip and thigh. As a result of the attack, our client has permanent scarring and continues to experience numbness in the area around the dog bite.
Attorney Robin Gouveia stated “As part of our settlement negotiations, we argued scarring, disfigurement and residual pain over the area that the client is left with as a result of the bite. We then ensured the medical bills were all paid and negotiated with the health insurer to reduce the lien they had on the case in order to maximize the client’s net recovery.”
