Can we file a lawsuit for a bad dog bite?
(asked 150 months ago in Lake Oswego, OR)
My neighbor's spaniel bit my 4 year old pretty bad, and we had to take her to the emergency room to treat the puncture wound. The dog was out in the yard while our neighbor was gardening, and my daughter tried to pet it. Can we sue for medical costs even though my child went up to the dog first?
