Judge Sets $9.5M Threshold for Chris Brown Dog Attack Payout

A Los Angeles judge has given Chris Brown’s ex-housekeeper, Maria Avila, a choice: accept a reduced $9.5 million award for a 2020 dog attack or face a new trial on damages. The judge ruled the original $12.9 million verdict excessive due to insufficient evidence regarding permanent nerve damage and future pain. Brown admitted negligence but argued Avila was partially at fault for leaving the property alone. If Avila rejects the reduction, a new trial will focus solely on the financial penalty, not liability.

Judge Offers Chris Brown Reduced Dog Attack Payout or New Trial

A Los Angeles judge has ruled that the $12.9 million jury award against Chris Brown for a 2020 dog attack is excessive. Judge Huey P. Cotton has given former housekeeper Maria Avila the choice to accept a reduced $9.5 million settlement or face a new trial solely on the issue of damages. Brown admitted negligence but argued Avila was partially at fault for going outside alone. The judge rejected Brown's request for a full new trial based on juror bias but upheld the liability finding while cutting the financial penalty.
