Despite a small victory in a lawsuit against him, Chris Brown should be cautious before claiming triumph.
According to court documents, Brown’s legal team has requested a delay in the trial date for a dog bite lawsuit. They have asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to move the trial from September 2023 to December 2023. The argument presented by Brown’s legal team is that the housekeeper who filed the lawsuit would not suffer any harm due to the extension of the trial date.
Additionally, the legal team says the housekeeper who sustained the dog bite is presently undergoing treatment for her injuries through her worker’s compensation claims. This situation has hindered Brown’s team from acquiring crucial evidence necessary to advance with the trial. As a result, the judge overseeing the case approved the motion request.
In 2020, Patricia Avila filed a lawsuit against Brown, claiming that one of his dogs attacked her sister, Maria, as they were cleaning his home. Allegedly, the dog “viciously attack” Maria as she was emptying the vacuum in the backyard.
According to Patricia, she purportedly rushed outside and discovered her sister in a distressed state, covered in blood, and desperately seeking assistance. It was Brown himself who dialed 911, as relayed by Patricia. She further described Maria’s injuries, including wounds around her eye, bites on her leg, and a significant portion of skin missing from her arm. As a result, Maria had to be hospitalized for several days and underwent two surgical procedures.
