Rutledge W. Jones of Jones & Swanson Secures $75K Dog Bite Verdict

Jones & Swanson takes pride in providing its clients with exceptional legal representation as they recover from the worst days of their lives. Recently, Rutledge W. Jones’ efforts allowed the firm to pass a significant milestone, as he secured a successful jury verdict in his first personal injury trial. The team applauds his efforts and celebrates the impact his win will have on the firm’s clients.

Jones represented a victim of a dog attack. A dog attacked Jones’ client twice, leading to significant knee injuries. However, when the client turned to their insurer for financial support, the insurer denied them coverage. Had they not fought back, they would not have received any economic support from their insurer throughout their recovery.

Rutledge W. Jones took the client’s case and strove to establish liability for the client’s losses. His efforts, along with support from the firm’s legal staff members, allowed the client to elaborate on the extent of their injuries and their right to financial support under applicable insurance policies.

After presenting the case, Jones secured a verdict of $75,000 from the attending jury. That support will help the victim make ends meet as they work with medical professionals to address their healing injuries.

The legal team at Jones & Swanson congratulates Rutledge W. Jones on this achievement in court. This is undoubtedly the first of many great successes that may define Jones’ career.
