Dog Attacks Postal Worker West of Sacramento
Many times when a dog attacks, a serious injury can occur in the victim. At our Law Firm in Sacramento, our clients that have experienced a dog attack have suffered both physically and emotionally. As I was reading an article in the news today, I came across a woman who was attacked by a dog during her job. I can only imagine the stress that will bring. The attack occurred west of our Sacramento home, in Hayward, California. The woman was a postal worker and she was attached by a pit bull on her mail run.
The news reports state that the woman, Virginia Joaquin, received injuries that required four-hours worth of surgery on her right hand. Luckily, when attacked, Virginia (undoubtedly), began to scream and neighbors rushed to her rescue, beating the pit bull away with a piece of wood.
If you have been attacked by a dog, you should seek medical and legal help. In California, State law places a person responsible for a dog attack if a person’s negligence causes the attack to happen, a person keeps a dog knowing that it has been known to attack others, or if a person is violating a leash law.
If you have been attacked or bitten by a dog and would like to receive more information, please contact the Law Offices of Moseley Collins.
