Our client was working as a meter reader for the utility company when the attack occurred on the defendant’s property. The attack resulted in significant puncture wounds to his hand which required him to undergo surgery.
Under Michigan law, he was not considered a trespasser and therefore the dog owner is liable for the injuries suffered in the attack.
The lawsuit seeks a settlement for his pain and suffering, scars, medical expenses, and lost wages. No trial date has been set by the court.
