Hello. A bite to the face, I am sure, was pain-

ful and I gather that the dog was large. I suggests a lawsuit for $150,000. Will be happy

to discuss this with you further.

Re: Pain and suffering

You do not have to sue for a specific amount. If you want to file a complaint, simply file it in the law division with a MINIMUM of $50,000... and then see what you can get from the other side.

Aside from pain and suffering, you are also entitled to loss of normal life, and any cost for plastic surgery to correct, if at all possible, the scar.

My office has handled many dog bite cases. You may contact my office for more information or for any additional help.
