Our client was attacked by his neighbor’s German shepherd. The dog was a known problem on the block, having previously chased and bitten at numerous other adults and children.
The attack required 100 stitches to the back of his left leg and calf. After an initial procedure to close the wound, the tissue became necrotic and he needed skin grafting.
