Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil and wife Robin McGraw have been served with a verified complaint for personal injuries and damages. The lawsuit filed against Phil McGraw and his wife Robin McGraw alleges that the couple’s gross negligence resulted in serious dog bite injuries being inflicted upon their former best friend and confidant, Janet Harris.
“Isn’t it time to do the right thing?”
Janet Harris forged a close personal relationship with the McGraw’s. She spent her 
decade long friendship with them vacationing in Europe, spending holidays together, as well as making several guest appearances on the Dr. Phil show. At one point she was even considered a member of the McGraw family, being referred to by Phil and Robin affectionately as their “Sister”. That all changed when the McGraw’s chose to do the wrong thing.
While Janet was a guest at the McGraw’s Beverly Hills manor, she was brutally mauled by their dog, “Maggie” without provocation or warning. The dog bite attack caused uncontrollable bleeding from deep puncture wounds, as well as cuts and abrasions inflicted on her arm and hand.
Complications from the dog bite injuries forced Janet to seek emergency medical treatment and required extended home nursing care to recover from an incapacitating infection called pastuerella multocida. Janet spent 7 days attached to an IV as well as being prescribed steroids and antibiotics.
The McGraw’s refused to provide any compensation or assistance to Janet to aid with her illness, instead leaving her to deal with mounting health problems and financial burdens alone. While their former best friend suffered severe physical pain and mental anguish, the McGraw’s finalized the purchase a of new $29.5 million dollar Beverly Hills mansion.
Janet founded the Skin Rejuvenation Center of Beverly Hills 13 years ago. As a result of the dog bite attack injuries sustained, she was unable to maintain her livelihood, culminating in the loss of her business and indefinite inability to earn a living practicing her trade. She seeks compensation for general damages, medical treatment costs, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering.
