Legal Question in Personal Injury in Minnesota

Someone Hit my dog and now....

Someone Hit my dog this summer - and now they are sueing me. - Is this possible? Can they really do that? - The dog had to get surgery and the Vet Bill was already redicious. Can the person that hit my dog sue me? What can I do about this? Sue back for medical bills and treatment? - I am at a loss for words. Thank You for taking the time.

Re: Someone Hit my dog and now....

Unfortunately it is possible. If your dog is running loose and I have to stop my vehicle to avoid hitting the dog and I get injured, it is possible that you, the dog owner, will be liable. Of course I do not know all of your facts, however, it is possible for you being liable if someone is hurt trying to stop from hitting your dog.

I hope that I have helped, answered all of your questions, and that I have provided you with useful information. Please contact me if I have not answered all of your questions.

Please be aware that my answer is not legal advice, it is merely information. You and I have not entered into an attorney/client relationship. The only way that I am legally responsible for your legal rights is if you have signed a written retainer agreement with my law firm.
