1. If you have a homeowner?s policy, check to see if it includes liability. If so, let the ins. co. handle it. 2. If no ins., negotiate a modest settlement if possible. Dog attacks are, generally speaking, the subject of strict liability. Of course there is an argument to be made about trespassing, but you may be better served to try to settle than spend money with a lawyer defending the claim.
