Robin Trupp
Arnstein & Lehr Tampa Partner Robin S. Trupp appeared in a news clip on Bay News 9 regarding a civil lawsuit by a Florida dog owner against a veterinary hospital in Largo, Flordia. The case was also featured in a January 15 article in Health News Florida titled “Dead Dog and ‘Parents’ Sue Vet.” The article and news clip discuss a lawsuit brought by a Florida couple against Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialists & Emergency Care Center regarding the death of their nine year old Shih Tzu, which they believe could have been prevented. Mr. Trupp comments it’s mainly a matter of principle if a pet owner sues because the cost of the lawsuit will substantially exceed the monetary value of the dog, as animals are considered property and have little value in the eyes of the law.
