Q: Can I sue if I was bit by a dog where I was working in exchange for room and board? The injury later caused an absess
The absess was staph and another worker had staph there. I was hospitalized for a week and was bed ridden for 6 weeks. In addition I am also an undocumented immigrant from Canada. I moved to the USA on a 3 year work visa and overstayed 10 years ago. I've resided In USA for 13 years. I lost my paper route job where I earned 10 a day for 3 5 hours work. The incident occurred November 23rd, 2020.
A: I think you mean that you were bitten 23 Nov 2019, not 2020. Did you have pasturella or staph? Go get a certified copy of your medical records and bill and hire a personal injury lawyer no later than 23 Oct 2020.
