$275,000 - For Young Girl for Permanent Scar From Dog Bite

A Chow severely bit a young girl on the face, causing permanent facial scars.  She will have to live with these scars for the rest of her life, since plastic surgery could not improve this type of scarring.  While some people believe that "every dog is entitled to its first bite," this is not true in Virginia.  Chows are known to have vicious propensities because of their breed, and owners of vicious dogs are obligated to know if they own a dog is dangerous or potentially dangerous to humans.  In other words, owners are required to know if their dog is is vicious (whether its breed is known to be or not) or if their dog is a breed known to have vicious propensities.  In the state of Virginia, additional compensation may be available for permanent scarring in a dog bite case or another type of injury case.  Medical bills, the extent of injuries, the prognosis for the accident victim, estimated cost of future medical care and related expenses, and other factors all work together to determine the amount of financial compensation that will be awarded in a Virginia personal injury or Norfolk dog bite case.  An additional amount of compensation may be awarded for permanent scarring to victims who suffer neck or facial scars.
