This is an issue that starts with insurance reporting and claims and goes from there. If there is no insurance and the alleged bite occurred offsite, then it may be that you will have to bear the expense of hiring a lawyer to address any claim and defend any lawsuit at your expense. You need to do that ASAP hoping to "nip this in the bud" before it expands and gets out of control if possible. The key here is assessing the basis for and ntaure of the claim whether from a fall or the bite.
