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.
