Dog Bite and Dog Attack Lawyer Chico

Ok, more time to blog. Recently in Riverside County a minor child was attacked by a dog owned by a homeowner near San Jacinto. Moroever, the childs lawyer claimed that the dog that attacked and bit the minor child had a vicous nature which was known or should have been known by the owner causing the dog to bite and attack. The minor child had $2,000 in past medical and $4,300.00 in future medical. The case settled for $70,000.00. This information was obtained from Trial Reports and Trials Digest.

This gives one an idea of what is going on in Southern California but is not meant to allude to the value of another dog bite case that might be in the Chico, California area. In fact the value of a case is difficult, especially a dog bite or dog attack case as there is a lot of pain and suffering that occurs. Sometimes when a minor child is attacked or bitten by a dog then the child becomes scared of all dogs. This makes it difficult for a lawyer or attorney to determine a strategy on the case.

Penney and Associates lawyers have handled many dog bite and dog attack cases in Sacramento, Chico, Roseville, Fairfield and many other California cities. See Penney firm (not Penny) at http://www.penneyandassociates.com/ or http://www.penneylawyers.com/

Dog Bite Lawyer

Sorry out of time, was going to blog, but have to run.

Auto Accident

More trials are forthcoming from Penney and Associates, Chico office. See Stewart Galbraith's blog at Chicolawyer.blogspot.com. He had a fun small disputed liability auto accident rear end case that was difficult to win. Though the injuries were not serious, the plaintiff prevailed and the jury properly compensated her. Good Job Stewart.

Motorcycle Accident San Jose

At times insurance companies just refuse to pay a reasonable amount for a claim. We just finished a trial in Santa Ana where the defendant's insurance company offered $200,000.00. We took the case to trial at the beginning of March 2009 and the jury awarded our client $775,000.00. This case will be noted in a later blog. In San Jose plaintiff David Allen was on his way to work on his motorcycle. Plaintiff claimed that defendant made an illegal and unsafe U-turn into plaintiff. The investigating officer claimed that plaintiff was 100% at fault. The officers claimed that plaintiff had unlawfully crossed a double yellow line in an effort to pass just before the collision. It was important to note that the defendant was directing traffic by waiving people on from the seat of his vehicle.

Plaintiff suffered injuries to his back requiring surgery, tibia/fibula fracture and various soft tissue injuries. The plaintiff had $155,421.00 in past medical and $96,100.00 in future special damages. The offer was $100,000.00 and plaintiff was awarded 1.8 million at trial.

At Penney and Associates we have dedicated trial teams that work hard to obtain maximum recovery on all cases whether from a settlement or trial.
