Our client was legally on another person’s property to ask if she could recreate her senior pictures 10 years later. The property owner let his dogs out, and the 3 dogs chased her down, biting her arms and legs. This led to many bite wounds and torn skin.
There were no warning signs that there were aggressive dogs on the premises. In Missouri, dog owners are strictly liable for the actions of their dogs. Our client had costly medical bills because of the actions of the dogs.
Our attorney was able to secure a $300,000 settlement that covered her medical bills and allowed her to keep additional compensation.
