Zirkin & Schmerling Achieves Major Settlement for Dog Attack Victim
Zirkin & Schmerling Injury Lawyers proudly announced a remarkable recovery of $100,000 for a client who faced severe injuries and income loss after being attacked by a dog. This recovery was made possible through their determined legal approach, especially after the challenging start of the insurance denying liability.
Client's Serious Injuries and Challenges
The injured party, a dedicated contractor relying on her hairstyling services for sustenance, experienced a sudden and terrifying dog attack while at work. As she attempted to evade the aggressive dog, she fell and sustained a broken arm. This injury drastically halted her ability to work, resulting in a substantial loss of earnings at a time when financial stability was crucial.
Beyond lost wages, the client was burdened with about $17,000 in medical expenses for emergency treatments, radiological scans, orthopedic care, and rehabilitation efforts. The client's challenges were compounded when the dog owner's insurance company outright denied responsibility and failed to present any initial settlement offer, adding further stress to her painful situation.
Zirkin & Schmerling Work Diligently to Secure Justice
Upon taking on the case, Zirkin & Schmerling Injury Lawyers undertook a meticulous investigation of the incident. They reconstructed the event and gathered vital evidence, including detailed medical records, witness testimonies, and documentation of the client's income loss. The legal team crafted a comprehensive demand package that clarified liability concerns and illustrated the full scope of the client's injuries and hardships.
Attorney Josh Schmerling stated, "When insurance companies deny accountability, victims can feel abandoned. We strive to counter their defenses with solid evidence and unwavering persistence, and that’s what we accomplished in this case." He expressed pride in securing the full insurance limits, allowing their client to concentrate on her healing process without the weight of financial worry.
Settlement Provides Essential Support for Recovery
The $100,000 settlement not only covered the client's medical bills but also provided compensation for her pain and suffering. Importantly, it enabled her to stabilize her finances during a critical time in her recovery, ensuring she could move forward with renewed confidence and hope.
