CASE ALERT: Attorney A. Vince Colella Settles Dog Bite Case for Nearly Quarter of a Million Dollars

Moss & Colella, P.C. is pleased to announce that Vince Colella recently secured a $230,000 settlement on behalf of his client who suffered injuries after being attacked by unleashed dogs. Dog bite cases can go beyond physical harm and also cause emotional and psychological trauma that can affect the victim.

Throughout the case, Vince remained determined to show the insurance company the value of his client's psychological damage. He not only fought for the compensation his client deserved but also recognized the personal toll such a traumatic experience can take on a victim. His approach combined legal skill with compassion, ensuring his client felt both heard and supported.

This case is a powerful reminder of the consequences of negligent pet ownership. Keeping dogs on a leash is not only about following the law but also protecting others and preventing serious harm.
