A group of Georgia plaintiff attorneys has secured a $5.6 million verdict for a woman viciously attacked by a dog at a neighbor’s house.

On Friday, a Hall County Superior Court jury awarded a damages verdict of $5.6 million to the woman, Stacy Finelli, and $20,159.99 to her husband, Anthony Finelli, for his role as caregiver during his wife’s recovery. Judge Bonnie Chesser presided. Following a five-day trial, the jury deliberated for an hour and 45 minutes before rendering a verdict. After the jury ruled in the plaintiffs’ favor, it deliberated for 15 minutes before voting to allow the plaintiffs to recover $50,000 in attorney fees from the defendants.
