About Me
My neighbor has had a dog that is very unpredictable for a long time. That dog comes ripping out of the house nearly each time they open the door. The dog has an aggressive personality and it made me very nervous. One morning, my husband was taking the trash to the curb for pick up and the dog ran and began biting him. After several failed attempts to collect the cost of the medical bills from the neighbor, I contacted a lawyer. The lawyer helped clarify how these cases go. I have included everything that the lawyer taught me on my website. Hopefully, it will help others going through the same unfortunate situation get through it more easily.
