We are incredibly proud to celebrate Scott Edwards, named Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Clark County Bar Association.

This award reflects his dedication to standing beside clients during their hardest moments. In one recent case, Scott helped secure a $2,000,000 verdict for a survivor of childhood abuse, giving a voice to someone who deserved to be heard.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do.

“Before the verdict was read, it was my client who gave me courage.”

At Schauermann Thayer, we remain committed to making a difference, one client, one case, one story at a time.
We’re honored to do this work.

Is a dog owner in Washington legally responsible for injuries caused when their pooch bites someone?⁣
⁣
Because of Washington’s dog bite statute, a dog owner is usually legally responsible for injuries their pet causes. ⁣
⁣
However, it is not always clear-cut and Washington law does not provide all the answers.⁣
⁣
🐾What if the animal is not a dog?⁣

🐾What if it is a dog and the owner just got it the day before from a rescue organization and is simply trying out the fit?⁣

🐾At common law an owner, keeper, or harborer of an animal who knows or should know of its dangerous propensities and that it is likely to cause injury is liable, regardless of whether that person was negligent.
⁣
🐾This means you don't need to be the legal owner of the animal to be responsible if you know it is dangerous if you are harboring it in some way. Harboring has been defined in the law as protecting.
⁣
🐾The lesson is to be careful of feeding strays of any type, I suppose.⁣
