On March 7, 2013, Attorney Thomas J. Newell received a Court Order which permitted him to move forward to trial with a punitive damage count versus a negligent West Chester PA pit bull owner. The 3/4/13 Order of Judge Ann Marie Wheatcraft overruled the defendant’s preliminary objections to the complaint Attorney Newell had filed.
The Chester County pit bull attack victim had been mauled on April 24, 2011 by the defendant’s 2 pit bull mixed breed dogs. The vicious dogs had displayed prior vicious propensities and the negligent pit bull owner had not taken any precautions to protect the 4 year old child. The defendant’s insurance company had failed to make a reasonable settlement offer, so Attorney Newell filed a lawsuit to protect his client’s legal rights.
