Woman Sues Congress for Injuries Given by a Small Dog.
How are Congressmen just like you and I? They, too, get sued when someone gets bitten by a dog on their property. How are they not like us? When they get sued, so does the entire House of Representatives.
Two years ago, Elizabeth Crawford went to a meeting with her Representative, Tom McClintock. While there, a small dog that belonged to a staffer bit her on her finger. Self-remedies, hospital trips, and two years later, she's suing him for $200,000 of damages. The four-figure amount they offered to pay for the bills was, apparently, not enough. In total, she's seeking 174,000 for "pain and suffering".I'll be interested to see how this one plays out...

Does a pitt bull count as a small dog? Or are we talking miniatures poodles here? I'm really hoping she doesn't get that $200,000 (just enough to cover her medical bills).
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they tried to negotiate with her, and give her what she needed. And in all honesty, I've been bitten by a dog before. It healed on its own in like 4 days. Did this dog have rabies, or something? She shouldn't have needed any major treatment past a 4-5 stitches.
