Lawsuit Alleges Personal Injury For Animal Bite
Posted on Mar 4, 2014 6:56pm PST
An interesting lawsuit was recently filed in California in which a young
boy passed away as a result of a bite by his pet rat which the family
bought at a pet store. The death is noted to be caused from what is known
as a rat-bite fever infection. The boy's family has sued the pet store
where the rat was purchased alleging that the pet store should have known
of the rodent's health and that they did not test the rat for the
disease at the store. The lawsuit also alleges that the pet store did
not post warnings about the potential for "rat bite fever".
