On December 19, 2008, a 60-year-old man was attacked and killed by two pit bulls in Rubidoux, California. The name of the man has not been released. He was in a back yard of a friend, as were the dogs and their numerous puppies. (Click here to read the article.)

"The two dogs, one of them being a very large [male] pit bull, and the other one is a female pit bull, are family pets," said a police spokesman. "He was in the back yard smoking a cigarette, and for unknown reason, the two dogs that were known to him just attacked him."

This is the 24th USA fatality in 2008.

What To Do If Your Dog Is Injured Or Killed

What people write to Attorney Phillips...

I have recently filed a lawsuit for a dog bite case. While researching the law, I stumbled upon your website and, I must say, felt very relieved to see such a wealth of information on the topic. I appreciate all the information that you provide on your site as it has helped focus my research immensely.

Best regards,

C.B., Attorney at Law
