Leesa Lyon was injured in a dog bite incident after three loose pit bulls attacked her and her teen daughter as they were walking back to their apartment. According to a news report in The Press-Enterprise, the dog attack occurred the night of May 14, 2012 in the 3900 block of Pierce Street. Officials say Lyon and her daughter were returning home from a high school awards ceremony. They got out of their car and were walking to their apartment when the three pit bulls charged at them. Witnesses who saw the attack called 911.

Lyon, who put herself between her daughter and the dogs, was bitten in the thighs and buttocks. The dogs have since been captured and quarantined. The dogs, all female, have not been spayed or vaccinated. They are also unlicensed, officials say. The dogs earlier attacked a man who was taking out the trash. The man apparently had to take cover in the dumpster. Officials have identified the dog’s owner as Trevor Casserly, a resident at the apartment complex where the attack occurred. It is not clear if Casserly will face criminal charges in connection with this dog attack.

My heart goes out to Leesa Lyon and her daughter who had to endure this traumatic dog attack. I truly hope her injuries are not serious and wish her the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep Lyon and her daughter in your thoughts and prayers.

Personal injury is a wide field of legal practice that covers many types of accidents. Personal injury attorneys in LA handle a number of different types of claims, including car accidents, workplace accidents, accidents involving pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles, and slip and fall accidents. Each of these types of accidents is different, but they all have one common factor: someone has caused an innocent victim pain and suffering and should be held accountable for the actions that led to the injuries.

One of the saddest facts about personal injury practice is that many people who have good personal injury claims never recover damages. Some recover nothing at all; others recover only a fraction of what they could have received and were entitled to. In each of these cases, it is common to find that the victim attempted to negotiate a settlement with the help of a personal injury attorney. The fact is that the legal system is far too complex to allow the average person to act with any degree of confidence when attempting to collect damages from a defendant, especially if the defendant is represented by an attorney or agents of a large insurance company.

Instead of accepting defeat, if victims of personal injury accidents would consult with professionals like LA personal injury lawyers, these stories could have a happier outcome. When a victim hires a personal injury attorney, two things immediately happen. First, the victim is endowed with knowledge and power, and is able to make a much more rational decision about the value of his or her case and how to pursue it. Second, the defense side of the claim quickly begins to take the victim’s claim much more seriously, realizing that the victim cannot be railroaded into an easy settlement.
