David Filley, et. al. v. David Young, M.D., (New Haven Superior Court—filed June 6, 2018) In August, 2017, a young child residing in Guilford, CT, was maimed by the neighbor’s dangerous dog while he attempted to retrieve a lacrosse ball from the physician/neighbor’s yard. The defendant, Dr. Young, should have known better than to keep a dangerous dog in proximity to children. The minor suffered multiple penetrating wounds including defensive wounds on his upper arm as well as a puncture wound on his ankle. As a consequence of the attack, the child has incurred severe scarring, significant medical bills and will continue to suffer emotionally because of these injuries.
