Our client thought she was out for an enjoyable evening at her friend’s home for dinner in Fort Collins, Colorado. After dinner, while the friends were sitting and talking, she reached down to pet their dog. It lunged, biting her in the face. Under Colorado law, a dog owner is strictly liable for economic damages suffered by another from being bitten by a dog. We fought hard to obtain additional funds for the trauma she endured and the impact on her quality of life. Although we can never remove the permanent physical and mental scarring she underwent, VanMeveren Law Group P.C. was able to obtain a substantial settlement on her behalf of $285,000.00.
