I am a Pediatrician. Any dog bite to the hand requires immediate flushing with copious water, application of hydrogen peroxide, application of topical antibiotic cream or ointment and oral antibiotic administration (Augmentin) to prevent infection. In addition you need to confirm that the dog is fully vaccinated against rabies by viewing the vaccination record. In some states you are required to report a dog bite to the department of health.

I wrote a paper on dog bites for a nursing class. In this case, the Defendant should have provided paperwork that the dog bite was the cause of the infection(his bloodwork should have stated the type of bacteria). It sounds like the infection turned into Sepsis and that is what caused him to pass out. People don't just go into Septic Shock for no reason. Dog bites can be cleaned, but the bacteria from the dogs mouth is what usually causes infection, not a lack of cleanliness. That is why the Plaintiff was suing for his auto repair because the believes he passed out from the infection(Sepsis)and that was linked to the dog bite. He just needed to prove it. I kind of see where he's coming from. At first glance it looks like a money grab. But if his infection turned Septic and that is why he had the accident, those expenses should be covered by the Defendant. This was definitely a weird one.

I'm allergic to certain medication yet every time I go to the doctors, they try to give me medication that includes the meds that im allergic to. Sepsis takes time to overtake the body. Cleaning is great but it doesn't eradicate all bacteria. I scraped all the skin off my knee when I was a kid and had my aunt (a doctor) clean my wound twice daily and bandage it yet a month later, I needed to have my skin cut off again due to bacterial infection. It's not as simple as you're thinking it is. It might be that the guy is trying to get MORE money than he can get but he didn't put the case in over an unfounded claim.

You're saying "He" meaning the defendant. At 1:50 the plaintiff says one of the defendants dogs "lunged to attack" his dog. That's his opinion. We don't know if the lunge was only an exuberant play move (which is not what we want). Both owners need to learn that dogs can meet on leashes but only in a calm state of mind. If they would watch Cesar Milan they'd have the 3 dogs sit (or lay down) and submit (no barking, no tail wagging, no whimpering = anxiety). THEN and only then you can let them sniff which is the first thing stable dogs do. They smell each others junk and then you see a beautiful play behavior. BFF's forever! 🦮💞

[@MusicTennis]

Exactly and that's the mistake the Harv made. Normally he's okay but he's way off here. He asked an incorrect and "leading" question.

I think that kind of stinks because the defendant should pay $5,000 otherwise the $4,000 is paid for by the rest of us in the form of higher premiums. I suppose the insurance company could sue for the $4,000 through subrogation, but they usually don't do this.
