Lawyer Sues City After Vicious Stray Dog Attack Exposes Public Safety Failures

In her complaint, she claims to have been attacked by a stray dog while on her way to work at the courthouse. She escaped with a leg injury. According to her, the animal tore her clothes. She says she is suffering from physical and psychological pain that has disrupted her professional commitments. This required medical treatment. She says she is torn between worry and fear of possible complications.

The lawyer is demanding compensation for the damages suffered. The plaintiff justifies her legal action by the fact that the community is legally responsible for order and safety in public spaces under Organic Law 113.14. She believes that its negligence in the fight against the phenomenon of stray dogs was a direct cause of the damage that affected her. She also mentioned the provisions of Article 77 of the Code of Obligations and Contracts, which requires the perpetrator of the damage to pay compensation, as well as Article 8 of Law 41.90, which gives administrative courts the jurisdiction to rule on such disputes.
