A woman from Tiverton, RI recently obtained a $125,000 dog bite settlement after being attacked by a large dog. She was bit in her right ankle/Achilles, causing puncture wounds in her left hip area and right foot, causing her to fall to the ground and sustain scrapes and abrasions on her left knee and leg. Our client underwent extensive pain management, physical therapy, and injections for her puncture wounds. This woman contacted our office so we could help her begin the dog bite claim process.
Attorney Heather Spellman said, “At first, the situation seemed hopeless, as the dog’s owner was reluctant to provide information, and our client was told there was no insurance coverage for her injuries. That didn’t stop us. Through careful investigation and persistence, we were able to locate a valid homeowner’s insurance policy that covered the incident. Once coverage was confirmed, we fought hard to ensure that our client’s scarring, pain, and permanency were fully recognized and fairly compensated. This case serves as an important reminder – Never assume there’s “no coverage” just because someone says so.”
