German Shepherd Bites FedEx Driver

$215,000.00 verdict in Philadelphia County. FedEx driver rang doorbell and as soon as the door opened (by a child who lived in the house) a German Shepherd ran out, jumped-up and bit the victim on the face. The injury required 15 stitches and plastic surgery which was successful — the scar had healed well — by the time of trial it was a crooked line on the cheek. The jury was horrified by the initial photographs which motivated them to award such a large amount.
