Attorney Derek Spada Wins $500K for NYS Trooper Attacked by Vicious Dog

At Basch Keegan & Spada, we fight tirelessly for injury victims in Kingston and throughout New York. Our recent $500,000 settlement in a dog bite case is a testament to our commitment to justice.

Our client, a New York State Trooper, was engaged in an investigation. While trying to conduct interviews at a house, she was attacked by a German Shepherd. She suffered a severe bite wound to her leg and endured physical pain and emotional trauma due to the negligence of the dog’s owner. It was discovered that the dog had a history of aggression, having bitten multiple people in the past, yet its owner failed to take the necessary precautions to prevent another attack.

Attorney Derek J. Spada took swift action to gather evidence and prepare an injury claim on behalf of the injured NYS Trooper. He knew the importance of holding the negligent party accountable for allowing a dangerous animal to harm another victim, especially because it had been the result of repeated aggressive behavior. Thanks to his experience and dedication, our client received a $500,000 settlement, which was the homeowner’s full insurance policy limit.

Dog owners have a responsibility to prevent attacks, especially when a dog is known to be vicious. If you or someone you love has been injured by a dog bite, you could have the grounds to file a claim if the dog owner was negligent.
