What's the story? Are you the biter or the bitee?
I'm told my dog did the biting ( I wasn't at home where it happened)and it was a result of somebody holding his pit bull away from my dog (a Brittany). That's about all I want to say in a public forum for now.
I do appreciate any and all referrals any of you might be able to make!

Where are you located and what is the situation. I've been involved in dog bite suits before.
WSU, When you say you you've been involved with suits before, I hope it was as a professional vs. as a plaintiff or defendant!
PM sent your way.

Hmmm.... I own a Britt and he would have to feel pretty darn threatened to go and bite another dog. Good luck to you and I hope things work out ok for everyone concerned.
p.s.
That's not to say Britts aren't brave dogs! I heard a story from a fellow hunter that some WDFW guys got treed by a bear one time when they were out doing something or another.... situation wasn't looking too good for the poor guys but they had brought along a little Brittany. The Britt ended up circling and barking and annoying the bear to such an extent that it allowed the gamies to escape unscathed. The dog made it out of the woods too. A pretty neat story!

Since I answered the OP, can hijack for a bit? :chuckle: Here's a bear my brit treed for three days at our cabin. Was all fun and games until the toddlers showed up, then not so cool.

I'm guessing it will all come down to who was leashed and/or controlled by fencing in their yard.
I hope your dog is OK. I assume the pit is OK unless a tiger walked by

If possible let your insurance handle it and attempt to settle with the guy or maybe even fight it.
Beware, insurance companies will often drop you after doing that and many others won't insure you afterward.

This is true but better than getting hit with a civil suit that results in a $20,000 decision plus legal fees that doesn't go in your favor. They will start by offering the guy something like $3500 or even less to go away, many times they take it and your premiums get a little bump.
