This is an insurance question. Your friend should look at the coverages and exclusions in his policy. Better yet, get the policy out and call his agent to discuss his policy terms.

If the dog isn't under control yes; if it was on a lead, you tightened up when child approached and the child thrust itself at the dog, no. But it's on you to control your dog at all times.And control means that--if it can bite anyone, it's you, not someone else.

You haven't said anything that makes me believe your lawyer is doing anything that is not competent, and he is right that lawsuits move very slowly and can take two years to get to trial at best, and maybe three or four years. Malcolm.
