UNITED KINGDOM -- A woman who was mauled by a dog while at work in Lincoln has been awarded £11,500.
Ruth Henderson suffered multiple injuries including a fractured neck, broken hand, and permanent scars on her left thigh.
It happened when the 68-year-old was carrying out a market research survey at a house in Tower Avenue on February 23, 2010.
Ms Henderson, who worked for IPSOS Mori, was attacked by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier as she went to enter the house. Employers IPSOS Mori were ordered by Northampton County Court to pay Ms Anderson £11,500.
Jayne Campbell, personal injury lawyer at Slater and Gordon, said: “Ruth was the victim of a terrifying dog attack which resulted in serious injuries to her hand as well as severe emotional trauma.
“This injury may have been avoided if her employers had given her the correct training to deal with the situation.”
