Walk It Through: The Neighbor's Dog
Liable for any damage, a parent when the owner is a minor, and a presumption for a young child.
A dog grabs a cyclist's pant leg, tears it, and scratches the leg.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One cyclist and one child. Dangerous dog hearings, damages in detail, and the deadline to sue are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
