KINGSTON, Jamaica – Popular dancehall deejay Lady Saw will have to fork out close to $1.5 million to pay damages after her dogs attacked her domestic helper.
Sixty-two-year-old Dorothy Wilson was hospitalised for a month after being mauled by a dozen dogs at Lady Saw’s upper St Andrew home.

Justice Leighton Pusey made the award with interest during an assessment of damages hearing in the Supreme Court last Wednesday.
Attorney Carla Brydson told the Jamaica Observer last week that her client was attacked on September 29, 2009 after completing a day’s work at the Chancery Hall, St Andrew, residence of her employer.
Brydson said Wilson was leaving the premises when the dogs pounced, ripping off a chunck of flesh from a leg and eating it before coming back for more.
Wilson was left with over 20 bites when the dogs relented their savage attack.
The woman was rushed to the University Hospital of the West Indies where she spent five weeks.
The attorney said Wilson, who had worked with Hall for about 15 years, described some of the dogs as being of the Pitbull breed.
As a result of the attack, Wilson is unable to stand for an extended period and is left with damage to a nerve in her finger, Brydson told the Observer.
Wilson subsequently filed a lawsuit, but Lady Saw, whose real name s Marion Hall, did not contest the case.
At the assessment of damages hearing, Wilson was awarded general damages in the sum of a million dollar, with three per cent interest from March 29, 2011 to October 10, 2012.
Special damages was assessed in the sum of $482,601 with three per cent interest from the date of the attack, September 29, 2009, to October 10, 2012.
Hall will also have to pay Wilson’s legal fees.
