Dog Attack Causes Nerve Damage, Infection
TOPEKA, KANSAS. A dog attacked our client at a search and rescue training event in Topeka, Kansas, causing severe nerve damage in her forearm and eventually leading to a serious infection. After several months of not being able to work due to unbearable pain and with medical bills piling up, the attack victim did not know what to do. Fortunately, she hired attorney Caleb Biesterveld who opened an investigation and discovered the dog had recently bit a young girl, killed a pet cat, and been trained using a bite sleeve. These facts were crucial in proving that the owner knew the dog had dangerous propensities which is a requirement to establish liability under Kansas law. After going head to head with the insurance company for a year and a half, we convinced them to pay reasonable compensation for our client’s losses.
