Marysville, CA – Two Injured in Dog Bite Accident

Marysville, CA (January 10, 2019) On the 8^th of January, a dog bite accident happened at the intersection of Yuba and 14^th streets at around 10:45 a.m. According to the reports, a 28-year-old named Chad Bird was driving past Eastpark Lake when he saw a 14-year-old boy being attacked by three pit bulls. They were biting on his arms, leg, and chest as he yelled for help. Bird got out of his car to help the teen, but the dogs turned and started attacking him. One of them dragged him down the street while another jumped on his back. The dog’s owner was present and even had one of the dogs on a leash but was still unable to prevent them from attack Bird and the teen. A neighbor finally helped by hitting one of the dogs with a shovel and ended the attack.

When the paramedics arrived, they found Bird seriously injured and transported him to a nearby hospital to be treated for two broken ankles and puncture marks to his arms. The teen also suffered injuries, fortunately, they were not life-threatening. The police department arrived and quarantined the dogs and took them into custody.

We are sorry to hear that Bird and the teenager are suffering injuries from this accident. We wish them both a full recovery.

Dog Bite Accidents in California

Recent studies show that about 51 percent of all dog attacks are from pit bulls. Whenever someone is attacked by a dog, the owner is financially responsible for covering all injuries. This applies whether a dog is tied up, behind a fence, or loose on the streets. It’s important for those injured by dogs to seek legal representation even if the dog owner has dog insurance.

It’s likely that Bird and the teen will get their injuries covered by the owner since she was unable to control her dogs from harming them.
