Renee Legro was mauled by two Great Pyrenees dogs while riding her bike at Camp Hale, a former Army training camp in Eagle County, in 2008.
Legro was taken by ambulance to Vail Valley Medical Center, where doctors treated her for bite wounds around her left eye, torso, right thigh and a fractured ankle.
"I couldn't begin to count the number of stitches she had," said Dr. Jeffrey Resnick, a Vail-area plastic surgeon who treated Legro at the hospital's emergency room. While Legro was treated at the hospital and released, Resnick said her injuries were "severe," adding that she was also "severely traumatized."
Sheep rancher Sam Robinson, who pastured sheep on surrounding national forest land, was twice convicted of owning a dangerous dog, a misdemeanor, but Legro and her husband also sued Robinson and his wife.
After several dismissals and appeals, Legro’s lawyer, Joseph Bloch, announced Wednesday that the Robinsons’ insurance company, Travelers, agreed to pay the maximum amount allowed under the Robinsons’ policy – $1 million. The case was dismissed last week.
The insurance company didn’t immediately have an immediate comment.
