Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has settled a $1million (£777,000) lawsuit involving a dog attack before it could proceed to trial.
A lawsuit was filed in July 2021 by Jennifer Gampper, a Frisco resident and neighbor of Elliott. She sought over $1m in damages after Elliott's Rottweiler dog attacked her, causing "severe and permanent injuries." The lawsuit was resolved before its scheduled trial date on Monday, as confirmed by Gampper's attorney, Christopher Hamilton, to the Morning News.
In May 2021, an incident involving three of Elliott's dogs, a Rottweiler, and two bulldogs, allegedly escaped from his property. Unfortunately, the Rottweiler bit two people, and they had to be hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries. Frisco Animal Services secured the dogs, and Elliott was given three at-large animal citations. The Rottweiler had to be quarantined for ten days.
