Dog Bite Victim

A young boy went over his friends house to play. When they opened the door their dog lunged at him and bit him. The attorneys at Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum were faced with a difficult task. Rhode Island law requires for a bite occurring on the owners premises that you prove that the dog had bitten before or that the owners of the knew or should have known the dog had dangerous propensities. There was no evidence that the dog had bitten anyone else. The attorneys fought for our client and obtained, what the client considered, an unbelievable $155,000 settlement and never had to worry about college tuition again.
