Our client, Martin, was doing yard work in his Downtown Denver home on a Saturday afternoon. As he was closing the gate to his backyard after mowing the lawn, Martin noticed an off-leash boxer dog crossing the street and running straight toward him. Recognizing the dog’s aggressive behavior, Martin quickly tried to get back inside the gate to escape the oncoming attack. However, before he could reach the gate, the dog bit him on the calf and pulled him back, causing Martin to stumble backward and fall over the stairs leading to his backyard.
Injuries Our Client Sustained
Martin suffered from a deep puncture wound on the back of his leg, approximately 4 inches in diameter. Immediate medical attention was required, including stitches and several debridements to treat the infection that followed. The injury caused significant nerve damage, causing Martin to need a total of 35 medical appointments over the span of a year and a half to fully recover. What he initially thought would be a quick fix turned into a prolonged and painful recovery process, both physically and emotionally.
The Liable Parties For The Dog Bite Incident
After the attack, Martin discovered that the dog responsible for the bite was a foster animal. The foster owners were found negligent for allowing the dog to roam off-leash, although the reasons behind this decision remain unclear. Additionally, the agency responsible for placing the dog with the foster owners also became a potentially liable party for entrusting them with a dog exhibiting aggressive behavior. This situation presented a complex case, with multiple potential parties at fault, and added challenges as the dog owners were initially resistant to accepting responsibility.
