Our neighbors dog was out in the street unattended, causing my husband to crash our Harley. Are the dog owners responsible for the damages to my husband and our property? It was a fairly signifigant amount of injury and property damage.

I'm pretty sure, that you can hold your neighbors responsible, as it was their dog. They should have had the dog attended.. or at least tied up or something and not running in the street.

how did the dog cause it? Doesn't hubby know how to exercise caution on a residential street? Was he going so fast, he couldn't stop? How is this the dogs fault (dog was out in the street unattended, causing my husband to crash our Harley). Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming everyone else!!

It is possible you could get compensated for your loss. It might be easier to collect if the dog is a "known biter" or a "dangerous breed". Also the leash laws are important. Is the dog constantly out in violation of the law? I cannot legally give legal advice so call an attorney and see what they say/

No your neighbors aren't responsible for paying property damage that's why you carry insurance but they will be fined for their dog being out. What I'm curious about is how did so much damage occur? How reckless was your husband being? I know that when I drive through my neighbor hood I drive the 15 mile speed limit..

particular it quite is a relief that the blame is being positioned on the shoulders of dogs vendors and not purely mindless destruction of harmless animals. of direction we don't understand the full information of the case - became the grandmother on drugs on the time... did she fail to call for help in the previous and the lady died from her injuries and so on and so on. those are the genuine factors that are bringing the manslaughter expenditures - not the actuality that the dogs attacked the little lady. Irresponsible dogs vendors will with any luck be shaken via the movements extra via this occasion yet I doubt that they are going to then be moved to take extra desirable care of their dogs. some human beings removes their dogs - passing it from homestead to homestead - ensuing in an outstanding extra risky animal! Others will unload them at rescue centres the genuine question is how can we administration and average dogs possession and confirm that folk have extra desirable get right of entry to to practise and socialisation instructions and teach those that no infant would desire to ever be allowed to sleep with any dogs!

Is there a leash law in your city, county or community. If there is, you could probably press charges that way. Otherwise, looks to me like you're responsible for the damages yourself.'

Their homeowners insurance should cover that.
