Dog was playing catch, saw father's tenant drive in driveway. Bringing dog up to house, tenent came out of vehicle. Dog ran to greet her, jumped up w/ mouth open. A tooth, cut her inner arm by her armpit. She went to hospital, recieved 6 stitches. I kept in contact w/ her whole time making sure she was okay. She told hospital that my father's dog greeted her and by accident he cut her w/ his tooth. Samething she told dog warden. She knew prior to inncident it was my dog (her & I used to be very good friends up til a year ago). Dog warden called me, Dog put on 14 day quarentine which ended 11/7/07. On 11/9 she contacted my father n told him she was suing him and that she would spilt the insurance $ w/ him that she was awarded. My father wants nothing to do w/ it.

Dog has been obediance trained very well. He was hyper from playing catch when she arrived. And the dog knew her

If she's suing you need a lawyer.....Father was aware and obviously consented to dog staying on his property, you personally will probably be named in complaint. You are probably liable for at least the medical bills and any lost time at work.

First, anyone can sue but that does not mean they will collect a large settlement etc. Really all the evidence & statements have already been given and collected. The person made statements at the hospital, dog warden, to your Dad. Pretty much she already stated that it was an accident, that the dog's tooth caught on her arm, that she is not in pain, etc. The dog was examined and is current on shots with no history of attacks. If this person tries to change her story and the facts now it will mean her downfall. The most you may have to be liable for are the medical bills. Really I would not worry too much on this. Your homeowners policy will cover this anyway. Good luck.

First of all, i hate to say this, but try to get her to repeat that statement about insurance fraud while secretly taping her. Say you'll go along with it just long enough to get her to expose herself. Second, she admitted to numerous people that it was a total accident. This is not a dog bite, the idiot got cut from letting a dog jump on her. She sounds like a scumbag, and she has no case.

Let her take him to court.
When it is his turn to testify, he can repeat what she said about her offering to split the insurance money with him.
Insurance fraud is a felony.
