Settlement for Young Girl Attacked by a Firehouse Dog

The legal team at Lane Brown, LLC obtained an $86,000 settlement on behalf of a child who was injured by a search and rescue dog at a local fire station.

Children Were Encouraged to Pet the Dogs

The accident occurred on September 25, 2011, when a 3-year-old girl and her mother attended a community open house hosted by the Mundelein Fire Department. One of the activities provided by the fire department was a display of search and rescue dogs, which children were encouraged to pet. While the young girl was gently petting a Doberman Pinscher named “Trax,” the dog suddenly and without provocation attacked the girl’s face, causing lacerations and bite marks. These injuries required stitches and caused minor scarring.
