Dog Bite to the Face at a Friend’s Apartment

Our client was spending time with a friend at her apartment in Fort Collins, Colorado. When unprovoked, the friend’s dog leaped at her and bit her on her face. This bite caused partial amputation of her nose, numerous reconstructive surgeries, and permanent scarring. Despite the dog owner’s knowledge of the dangerous propensities of the dog, she, her family and their insurance company repeatedly denied any liability and tried hard to avoid all responsibility for this tragic and disfiguring attack on our client. Our client incurred substantial medical expenses and was physically and emotionally scarred as a result of this horrific event. VanMeveren Law Group fought hard and obtained a substantial settlement, allowing our client to afford her medical necessities and return to her life as it was before.
