When a young woman was attacked by a dog, she suffered serious injuries to her nose and face. John Michael Montevideo of Montevideo Law, PC dba Dog Bite Law Group had the team at High Impact create accurate medical illustrations showing the full extent of her injuries, surgeries, and overall suffering. With the help of our visuals he was able to negotiate a successful $1.3M settlement.
Challenge
The plaintiff in this case was severely injured by a dog when it attacked her face, biting her on the nose and lip. She was hospitalized for five nights and required multiple surgical procedures to repair the damage. Following the incident, she suffered severe anxiety as well as psychological distress and depression.
The defense denied any liability and the initial challenge was to overcome the arguments of dog ownership, insurance coverage, assumption of the risk, and comparative fault. Mr. Montevideo needed to communicate beyond any doubt that the defense was liable for all damages and injuries suffered by his client.
