Seattle: After ignoring the papers she was served, dog owner Denise Norton now owes $500,000 in a lawsuit over Cawper’s barking which she let go unchallenged, reports KOMO News.
Norton’s neighbor, Woodrow Thompson, filed a lawsuit claiming that Norton’s dog Cawper caused intentional “profound emotional distress” with his “raucously, wildly bellowing, howling and explosively barking.”
Thompson further asserts that Cawper barks at 128 decibels through double pane windows, which KOMO News reports is “louder than a chainsaw, a clap of thunder and just a hair quieter than the takeoff of a military jet.”
Thompson won his lawsuit for half a million dollars largely due to the fact that it went uncontested in court.
Chaninat and Leeds’ civil litigation lawyers are experts on Thai personal injury laws and specialize in Thai and international cases.
Norton says she didn’t respond to the served papers because “everything was so bogus… I just didn’t think it was real.”
After reportedly pouring her family’s savings into hiring lawyers, Norton is working to get the case dismissed.
