Michigan: Woman who suffered permanent nerve damage to her dominant hand, after being bitten by her hairstylist's dog, files lawsuit

MICHIGAN -- We recently filed a dog bite lawsuit for a 37 year old woman bitten on her dominant hand by a dog.

She was getting her haircut at the stylist’s home when the family dog bit her in the hand.  She suffered puncture wounds to her hand that have resulted in permanent nerve damage.

The damage to the nerves was confirmed by her doctor after an EMG study.

The lawsuit was filed in the Macomb County Circuit Court in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.  The case seeks compensation for her pain and suffering, disability, lost wages, and medical expenses.  No trial date has been set by the court.

Under Michigan law, the dog owner is liable for the injures caused by the dog bite attack.  Our client was lawfully on the property and did nothing to provoke the attack.  We expect to win her a substantial settlement in the case.
