![[09-21-2024] Man Attacked by Neighbor’s Pit Bull During Morning Walk in Pomona](https://ak1.to//ulHm9.webp)
A neighborhood is on edge after a pit bull, known for causing prior issues, attacked a man walking with his wife and their three dogs in Pomona on Saturday morning, September 21, 2024.
The incident, captured on home surveillance, shows the couple walking near Palomares Street and Roosevelt Avenue when the black pit bull charged from across the street, initially targeting the woman holding two of the small dogs. The pit bull then shifted focus to the man as he tried to protect their other dog.
As the attack unfolded, the woman screamed for the pit bull’s owner to intervene. A nearby gardener attempted to help, using a leaf blower to separate the dog from the man. Eventually, the owner arrived and called the dog back.
The man sustained several bites but is expected to recover. However, concerns remain about the safety of families and children in the neighborhood.
Authorities have yet to respond to inquiries from local news outlets regarding the incident.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
