Each year almost 5 million people are bitten by dogs in the United States.
You may remember about three children, ages 8, 7 and 5 years old, who were mauled by 5 dogs in Fontana last year. Well, justice has been served for the injuries caused to those children – the owners will serve four years and four months in a California state prison.
The trial was very emotional as the incident was discussed again. A mother and her children were attacked by 5 dogs as they walked along the railroad tracks in Fontana last year. The dogs, one of which was almost 100 pounds, were Mastiff and Pit Bull mixes – they escaped their backyard through holes they dug underneath a fence.
The 5-year old girl suffered critical injuries to her face, head, chest, legs and neck when big chunks of flesh were torn from her body, exposing her ribs and puncturing her lungs. The 7-year old boy required more than 200 stitches to close the wounds he sustained.
If you or your children are victims of a dog attack, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to discuss your rights.

A California Highway Patrol officer, died near Barstow when he pulled a speeding car over early the other morning on Interstate 15 in Barstow. Another car, driven by 18-year old man, crashed into the patrol car, hitting the officer.
The officer was flown to St. Mary’s Hospital in Apple Valley. He died a short time later from the injuries he sustained; his partner was not hurt. The 18-year old man was arrested for vehicular manslaughter. The man is at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga where his bail is $500,000. He pleaded not guilty to vehicular manslaughter, child endangerment (12-year old boy was a passenger in his car) and transportation of marijuana. If convicted, he can serve up to eight years in prison.
The officer is the fifth officer to die in the last two months on California roadways. My sympathies go out to the officer’s wife and children, ages 7, 4 and 1.
