More information is needed to answer your questions. It sounds like your employer took disciplinary action against the coworker who sexually assaulted you after you reported the incident. Has the coworker returned to work? Is he or she still working with or near you? You should contact an... View More

In your case, it seems that you would need something to prove that they had your dog, or control of your dog, after the time they say it ran away. Were they seen with the dog?

Depends on how much you are talking about. If it is under $10k, you can go to small claims court. More than that, file in regular circuit court. Of course, you would be better off using an attorney, as most do these types of cases on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay them if you win.
