Q: How do I go by getting financial compensation for vet bills after unleashed dog attacked service dog in our yard
How would I approach this? Husky dog ran up into our yard on our porch attacked my mother service dog, who is a chiweenie on our porch. Dog has broken bones and peritoneal hernia issues pooping etc. Surgery is likely going to be needed for the hernia. All caught on neighbors security system showing dog was unleashed .
A: You should contact a personal injury lawyer (or a few of them) in your area to discuss the specifics of your matter and what has transpired thus far--I suggest a few because most will provide a free initial consultation. Also, you can contact the owner of the husky dog and and inquire of his insurance situation and make a claim against it but I think you should have a lawyer handle this for you. Also, I would consider seek criminal charges and/or calling animal control based on what you described.
