A young man attended a party with his mother when a dog approached without warning and bit him in the face. The attack caused significant facial injuries that required immediate emergency room treatment. The injuries were severe enough to require reconstructive surgery to repair damage to his lip and facial structures.
A dog bite to the face is particularly traumatic. Beyond the immediate physical pain, facial injuries create lasting emotional and psychological impact. They affect how the victim sees himself and how others see him.
Reconstructive surgery can help, but the process is long and often requires multiple procedures. For a young person just starting life, a facial disfigurement injury can impact confidence, social relationships, and future opportunities.
Recovering Fair Compensation Without Prolonged Litigation
Allison Pritchard represented this young man and negotiated a strong settlement on his behalf. Rather than forcing him through years of litigation, Allison worked strategically to settle the case quickly, allowing him to focus on healing and moving forward with his life.
The settlement was structured carefully. In Colorado, when a young person receives a substantial settlement, the law requires that the money be placed into an annuity or restricted trust account. This protection ensures the funds are preserved for his long-term medical needs, ongoing reconstructive procedures, and future care.
