DOG ATTACK AND SUBSEQUENT FALL DOWN STAIRCASE IN HOME ACCIDENT
$250,000.00 Settlement for woman charged by a large Mastiff breed dog and then fell down a flight of stairs…
Attorney Mark C. Blane obtained a $250,000.00 settlement for a San Diego woman who was charged by a large Mastiff breed dog while she was performing home care duties for the homeowner who was negligent in not restraining the large dog. The woman injured her back that required surgery, and other medical expenses. Mr. Blane was successful in obtaining the settlement without the need for formal litigation in Superior Court. The settlement included an annuity structure which allowed the client to maximize her net recovery over the next 12 years. She was able to take a lump sum net amount now followed by guaranteed monthly payments in the form of "annuity payments." Depending on the case, this sometimes makes sense. Mr. Blane can counsel you on your case to see if a structured annuity makes financial sense on your particular dog bite injury case.
