Dog Bites Pool Repair Man:
When Phil arrived to inspect and repair a pool house, the property owner
escorted him into a fenced area in the back of the house. The owner's
dog, which the owner knew to be dangerous and have a propensity to bite
strangers, was loose. The dog attacked and bit Phil, causing severe lacerations
to his hand and arm, as well as significant infections. Lawson Spivey
and Ed Weiner successfully negotiated a $500,000 settlement on Phil's
behalf through the defendant's homeowner's policy.
Woman Mauled by Dog:
Rose, 69, loved walking in her neighborhood. As she left her home one afternoon,
she was attacked and mauled by a neighbor’s pit bull, which had
a long history of getting loose. The dog bit Rose on her neck, ear, upper
arm, forearm and hand. Some of the bites were so savage that they exposed
the underlying muscle. Rose received over 100 stitches, and required extensive
physical therapy and psychotherapy to recover from her injuries. After
extensive negotiations by Gene Miller with the dog owner's insurance company,
Rose received a settlement of $225,000 through the dog owner's homeowner's policy.
