Woman represents self, daughter in dog bite case

Stephanie Fore is suing Gregory and Deborah Breaux. She claims her daughter was bitten by the couple's dog.

Representing herself and acting as next of friend of her minor daughter, Fore filed her personal injury lawsuit with the Jefferson County District Court on Oct. 16.

According to the plaintiffs' original petition, on April 4, 2006, Fore's daughter was bitten by the defendants' dog.

"The minor plaintiff suffered injuries to her face and other injuries to her body generally," the suit said. "Further, the adult plaintiff has suffered damages in the form of lost time from work and payment of medical bills."

The case has been assigned to Judge Donald Floyd, 172nd Judicial District.
