A jury in metro Atlanta has decided a family should receive $72 million after a dog attack nearly killed their daughter on March 9, 2010.<\/p>\n
The jury took 45 minutes to come back with the verdict.<\/p>\n
Erin Ingram was 8 years old when she was attacked while playing basketball in her driveway by two neighborhood pit bulls.<\/p>\n
Erin had six operations in the first six months after her injury, plus more than a dozen in all. The surgeries and medical care costed the Ingram family hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.<\/p>\n
Erin was so badly\u00a0mauled that a surgeon had to remove part of her arm.\u00a0Her other arm remains disfigured and her ankles are still scarred.\u00a0Today, Erin has some use of her right arm and slight use of her left.<\/p>\n
Father Tommie Ingram says that Erin’s spirits are good despite nightmares.<\/p>\n
