In 2011, Dr. Phil's dog bit a visitor (Janet Harris). Harris was visiting Dr. Phil's family home when the incident occurred. Following the incident, Dr. Phil and his wife convinced Harris not to seek medical attention. This decision resulted in Harris experiencing a serious infection, causing hand tremors and loss of use of the bitten hand. Given that Harris was a skin-care professional, and required use of her hands to practice her profession, she filed a personal injury claim. She sought $7 million dollars in damages for her emotional distress, loss of income (past and future), medical care, etc...In 2013 the case settled, for an undisclosed amount, outside of court.
