A Complaint with multiple causes of action against the dog owners, causes of action against their landlord, a bystander cause of action, and a punitive damages allegation. Thorough written discovery: 92 interrogatories and 57 categories of documents that the defense must produce, plus alternate short sets of 25 interrogatories. Deposition outlines for the dog owners, a child witness, an accident witness, a damages witness and a "person most qualified" (which is how you have to depose witnesses like veterinarians and animal control officers if you do not know which ones were involved in your client's case). And much, much more -- now, this is how you beat the opposition!
The Dog Bite Lawsuit Forms will save you hours of legal research and typing. The deposition outlines, for example, will cut 90% off your preparation time. Most important, they will ensure a winning, comprehensive approach to your dog bite case!
Hit them hard and keep them running! This is the complete set of the litigation forms written by Kenneth M.Phillips, the author of Dog Bite Law. They are the same forms that are used by him and the lawyers who work with him on dog bite cases throughout the United States.
Here are some comments by attorneys who are using the forms: "A masterful job of drafting." "Immensely valuable." "Your deposition outline enabled me to prepare in just one hour." "When the case was over, the defense attorney said I really knew what I was doing -- but this was my first dog bite case!"
Also, you will receive two important chapters from Dog Bite Law, the upcoming book by Mr. Phillips. Remedies in Dog Bite Cases lays out the causes of action available to dog bite victims. This is the unabridged version of the article published in ATLA Trial Magazine under the name, Put Some Teeth In Your Dog Bite Claim (Feb. 2006). You will learn about a whole range of dog-bite-related torts, like infliction of emotional distress and failing to provide evidence of rabies vaccinations.
And, you will get Taking the Dog Owner's Deposition, which will help you construct a focused, hard-hitting oral examination of the defendant dog owner and any harborer or keeper of the dog.
Add it up: with these chapters and the litigation forms themselves, your cases will speed forward with confidence and power!
