Any retail storefront business that allows its customers to tie up their dogs outside the entrance door risk injury suit and damages if the dogs bites one of their customers. Peterson Law Offices, through its lead lawyer Todd Peterson, will bring a claim for injuries damages and scarring as result of a Starbucks customer getting bitten by another customer’s dog.

Todd Peterson says his client suffered scaring to her body and Starbucks is responsible because they have long allowed its customers to tie up their dogs outside their storefronts. Peterson says a multi-million dollar grossing business like Starbucks can certainly foresee potential injury to its patrons by letting their customers keep their dogs outside the doors. They have long catered to their dog loving clientele who come in for coffee while putting the rest of the public at risk of getting bitten.

Peterson says unattended dog are illegal and Starbucks knows this and has long accommodated the dog owners while leaving the rest of the public at risk. Peterson also notes that he is looking for Starbucks to warn dog owners not to tie their pets up outside their stores and this company needs to be held accountable for long tolerating the risk to the greater public at large. He also puts in dogs bite annually some five million people per year.
