According to Harris County District Court documents, Rose Williams filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Steven and Amanda Spielman. The lawsuit claims that the Spielmans’ dog, Jax, bit her hand while she was working in her garden. The filing claims Williams was working in her garden in December 2008 when the 69-pound hound mix bit her on her hand causing “serious and debilitating physical injuries.”

Williams claims the Spielmans are directly responsible because of their negligent handling of the dog, allowing the animal to come in direct contact with her.

The lawsuit is seeking damages for lost past wages, physical pain, scarring, and future medical care. She is also asking the court of pre and post-judgement interest.

The lawsuit was filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Shea Johnson, of Louisville. Johnson claims a German shepherd dog, which was laying on the floor of the cabin in front of its owner, attacked her without reason. Court documents say Johnson was not “teasing, tormenting, or abusing the German shepherd,” when the animal bit her face. Johnson apparently sustained “permanent injuries and impairments,” and had to undergo medical treatment after the attack.

The personal injury lawsuit names Louisville International Airport, the Louisville Regional Airport Authority, Atlantic Southeast, Delta and Skywest Airlines as defendants. The lawsuit contends the defendants failed to provide a safe atmosphere for Johnson, as the German Shepherd was “improperly allowed to board the flight.” The lawsuit says: “The German shepherd was not a service animal for mobility, hearing, or visual disability. The German shepherd was not in an animal carrier and was not stowed under the seat.”
