If you were bit by your neighbor’s dog you absolutely have grounds to seek compensation and there are a couple of things you should know.
First, the owner of the dog is responsible if the dog bites or attacks somebody. Second, the neighbor might have homeowner’s insurance that’ll pay for medical bills, lost wages and even for pain and suffering.
It’s important that you seek out medical treatment and you fully understand the injuries that you received.
It’s also important that you document what happened and take any photographs in case there’s a dispute about whether the dog attacked you or whether something else happened.
