San Diego Dog Bite Attorneys Representative Cases

Casey Gerry's dog bite attorneys in San Diego represented couple in Riverside who lost their two year old daughter in a pit bull attack. The little girl and her five year old brother were at the home of a sitter. The sitter owned a pit bull terrier, which was out in the yard. The sitter drove another child to school, leaving a 12-year-old boy to watch the two young children. The boy allowed them to go out into the yard. He looked out a window to see the pit bull biting and mauling the little girl, then tossing her in the air like a toy. The child died from the bite wounds.

The sitter rented the house, and the owners of the property, who lived nearby, had full knowledge of the serious risks their tenant’s dog presented. A few weeks earlier, when this pit bull had been at the landlord’s house it had bitten a guest. In their investigation of the earlier incident, Casey Gerry dog bite attorneys learned that after that attack, the landlord had taken no action to restrain the dog or have it removed from their rental property. In mediation the owners were held responsible for their failure to take action about this dangerous dog, and its subsequent attack on the little girl. No action could restore her life, but Casey Gerry dog bite attorneys were able to secure the bereaved parents a settlement that provided financial compensation for their painful and needless loss.
