Show Notes
First, the plaintiff says the defendant, his younger sister, owns a pet boxer that attacked his son, injuring the child’s eyes and requiring emergency medical treatment. He’s suing for medical bills and pain and suffering. The defendant says her nephew isn’t the most well-behaved kid, and no one knows what he did to provoke the dog.
Then, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant, but discovered it was infested with roaches as she was moving in. She claims the defendant knowingly concealed the pest problem and is suing for a return of her rent. The defendant argues the issue was likely her disgruntled boyfriend, not a bug, and claims the boyfriend didn’t want to live there from the start.
Plus, the plaintiff says a rotten tree on the defendant’s property dropped a large branch that damaged his car, fence, and barbecue. When he called to notify the defendant, he allegedly replied, “I’m a lawyer, not a landscaper.” The plaintiff is suing for the cost of the damages. The defendant claims the damage was caused by a documented storm and says he’s disliked in the neighborhood simply because he’s building a large house in a small village.
