what you need to know about dog bite lawsuits

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.
