Our client was vacationing when he entered a restaurant early one morning to see if it was open for breakfast. The front doors were unlocked, but the lights were off. As he walked into the restaurant, a growling, unleashed pitbull ran and lunged at him. Our client turned and ran, in the process colliding with a table, and tore his quadriceps muscle. He incurred approximately $10,000.00 in medical bills and missed a significant amount of time from work. We contacted the restaurant and argued that it was negligent in setting a trap for our client by leaving the door open and the dog unrestrained. The restaurant responded that it was closed at the time and that our client was trespassing. We were ultimately able to obtain a $100,000.00 settlement for our client, without the need to file a lawsuit.
