CLAIM OF PAMELA YOUNG, CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURIES
Claimant,
vs. (Government Code Section 910)
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
(Animal Services Department),
Respondent /
You are hereby notified that PAMELA YOUNG, herein after described as Claimant,
whose address is 222 Heron Drive, Pittsburg, CA 94565, claims damages from the County of
Contra Costa(Animal Services Department) as follows:
This claim is based upon the personal injuries suffered by PAMELA YOUNG on or
about March 9, 2008 in the City of Pittsburg at or near River Park Road in the vicinity of Vee
Jay Marine Services. On said date, Claimant was walking her dogs when two pit bull dogs who
were kept on the premises of Vee Jay Marine Services, 6 Bayside Drive, Pittsburg, CA, which
premises are owned by the City of Pittsburg, viciously attacked Claimant Pamela Young. The
property was in a dangerous condition in that there were inadequate restraints such as fencing to
restrain the known vicious animals thereby allowing said vicious animals to escape from their
confinement and attack and injure Claimant, knocking Claimant to the ground and causing
serious personal injuries to Claimant.
Respondent, through its agents and employees, was aware of the dangerous condition
that existed and respondent through its agents and employees negligently failed to take action to
cause the owners and caretakers of the dogs to initiate the repairs, have the dogs confined
securely and/or removed from the premises, thereby negligently allowing the dangerous
condition to continue to exist which resulted in injuries to Claimant.
The names of the parties responsible for this negligence are unknown to Claimant.
