Q: I live in FLorida - My neighboor dog attacked my dog so I had to rush him to the hospital
I live in FLorida - My neighboor dog attacked my dog so I had to rush him to the hospital- Now my neighboor dispappeared-- I have been coming to my neighboor house almost every day for the past week to make her pay $1400 for the vet but apparently she moved out - Would you please help me and advise what my options are? Some people told me to sue her thru small claim court but how effective this can be ? would the court make her pay ? or she can still resufused to pay ? Can she get arrested because of this? How can I get her homeowner's insurance info
A: Suing in small claims court will basically only get you a piece of paper saying that she owes you money, and only if you prevail. Now, it depends upon what assets she has, in order to determine whether you can actually get anything, by garnishing a bank account or wages, or sending the sheriff out to seize personal property.
