She is being treated for serious injuries in hospital. Despite her injuries,
the Ms Simpson managed to shut the dog in and run outside the house. A
Merseyside police spokesman said: “The emergency services were called just
before 4.30am to report that what appears to be a pit bull terrier-type dog had
attacked a five-year-old girl and a woman, believed to be the child’s
grandmother, at the family home in Knowles House Avenue, Eccleston, St
Helen's.” Dog handlers and armed response officers went to the house where
they decided to destroy the dog immediately. .

ATTORNEY KENNETH PHILIPS
www.DogBiteLaw.com
This is a self-help book for dog owners whose precious companions
have been wrongfully injured or killed. As you may know, there are very few
attorneys who get involved in this. There simply is not enough money to pay an
attorney. Furthermore, people usually just want to get their veterinary bills
paid. This book has all the forms, tactics and information that a dog owner
would need to get the bills paid -- and even get compensated for emotional
distress in many cases.
What To Do If Your Dog Is Injured Or Killed will enable you to get compensated for veterinarian bills, emotional
distress, and anything else that you are legally entitled to
receive.
You
may be entitled to reimbursement and other compensation if your dog was
injured or killed by a dog belonging to another person, or if it was hurt
because of the negligence of another person. There is no reason to bear the
emotional pain and get stuck with the vet bills too. Not only would that be
unfair, it also is unnecessary.
Mr. Philips is
widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on dog bite law:
- The Today Show and
Lawyers Weekly have called him "the dog bite king."
- Time Magazine has
called him "California's leading dog-bite lawyer."
- Good Housekeeping has
referred to him as "a leading expert in dog-bite law."
- The Los Angeles Times
has said he is "the nation's best-known practitioner of terrier
torts."
Mr. Phillips has
frequently been a guest on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC,
MS-NBC, Fox News Channel, and Court TV. He also has
appeared on local TV news shows and radio talk shows throughout the
USA.
