My dog was attacked by the neighbor's pitbull while I was on vacation. The pittbull was on my parents' property, not its own, and was not restrained. Several vet bills were required to save my dog after the attack. Do I have grounds to sue for reimbursement?
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your dog.
Were there any witnesses to the attack?
Yes. My father, brother and the pit bulls owner
Have you reported the incident to animal control or the police?
I will tomorrow.
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your dog attack case.
No that’s all.
