Did the pesky pit bull terrier belonging to your neighbor test the strength of its teeth on your leg recently? Then you must have already gotten proper medical attention, and possibly taken anti-rabies vaccines as well. Wait, you remembered to save the medical bills properly, right? Hopefully you did, because those will be your greatest weapons when you are out to teach your neighbor a lesson for not being able to control his dog! By the way, be sure not to harm the dog, no matter how furious you are about his misbehavior. In fact, you would want it to be completely healthy, and looking as menacing as possible. That will significantly increase your chances of making his owner pay for your injuries. However, before you can file a lawsuit against his irresponsible owner, you need to find an experienced dog bite attorney. Here's how you can proceed with that. What are friends and family, or the internet for? This may seem like a rather disturbing question to ask, but has anyone in your family, or any of your friends been bitten or scratched by a dog recently? Then, ironically, you might be in luck! Pick up the phone right now, and dial his (or her) number. Ask whether he (or she) filed a lawsuit against the owner of that beast. Can't think of anyone who fits the description? Well, this is why God created internet! Simply search online for a dog bite attorney practicing in your locality. You should be able to find at least a couple attorneys like that soon enough. Mission accomplished, for now! Let the war begin! Now is the time to begin the actual legal process. Provide the attorney with all the information you can about the incident. If possible, mention the breed of the beast. If he happens to belong to one of the breeds considered dangerous, such as pit bull terrier, German shepherd, or Doberman, then his owner may already have lost the battle. Some states have laws against keeping untrained animals of these breeds at home. All you have to do is let your attorney whisk the beat's owner to court, and you can start waiting for the check of compensation to arrive. Dog bite attorneys (Los Angeles is home to some of the best) are actually nice people, so don't be afraid to approach one of them. In fact, many of these attorneys do not charge anything apart from a customary consultation fee, till you win the case. Once you have won, only then they will claim a portion of the cash you have received. Isn't this a refreshing change from the usual attitude of lawyers as you might have heard from others?
