The individual was attacked by a dog at Waimanalo Beach Park, a state park in Hawaii, in or around December 2022. She does not possess identifying information about the dog’s owner; however, she is seeking compensation for damages based on the incident occurring within state jurisdiction and the apparent lack of control over the animal.
As a result of the attack, the individual sustained significant injuries to her hand, which required medical attention. She has hospital records documenting the treatment. Despite receiving care, the injuries have led to a notable and lasting loss of functionality in her hand, impacting her ability to use it as she could prior to the incident.
Her primary aim is to recover hospital expenses incurred as a direct consequence of the attack.
