Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Missouri

neighbors dogs

I have a new neighbor that put up a terrible chain link fence then brought over his THREE dogs which apparently never stop barking. My 1 yr old loves animals so I am having a very hard time keeping him away from the fence. He has already been bit once in the 4 days they have been there. I can't go on my deck without the dogs running at me,clambering to get over the fence and barking their heads off. My husband and I can't even hold a converstion on our deck the dogs are so loud. Is there anything I can do, but just as important, is there anything I shouldn't do? I dont want to make enemies w/the new neighbors...but this is ridiculous. I can't enjoy my back yard any more.

Re: neighbors dogs

I help people in this situation quite often. The dogs could be considered a nuisance. Also, there may be steps that can taken with animal control. An attorney can help you recover damages for the bite your son incurred. Feel free to call if you would like to discuss further or check out the website www.dog-bite-law.com.

Thanks.
