I’d sue. Dogs who bite humans, let alone babies, deserve absolutely no quarter.
Oh we know. But we also know that lawyers don’t take low dollar contingency cases that aren’t a slam dunk payout with a single letter.
No, there are at least 5 lawyers upthread saying how she shouldn’t hire a lawyer because it’s too expensive (for OP) to get litigious. Not that a lawyer won’t take the case at all.
At least get a consult. People who harbor dangerous animals need to be held liable. This is why insurance policies exist!
You know that OP did get a consult. Lawyer did not take any action on their behalf.
Different PP. I believe that OP consulted a real estate lawyer, not a personal injury lawyer. I had no problem getting a lawyer, twice for dogbites similar to OP's child's. They were personal injury lawyers, and both cases the homeowners insurance paid-never saw the inside of a courtroom.
Litigious husband got a consult with a lawyer from his company and afterward OP and his and decided not to pursue based on the advice received.
