本帖最後由 kayllis 於 2010-4-22 11:07 編輯

my dog was bitten by another dog (a pit bull i think) that was on a leash yesterday...
that dog literally just jump off the car and ran right to my dog and bit on his neck...
he's now going to have an operation and the cost is at least $700-800

in my understanding... i think those dangerous dogs are supposedto be on leash all the time? so shouldn't she be the one to pay for the medical fee?
but now the owner of the other dog is refusing to pay the fee...

anyone know who can i talk to?
i have already contact RAPS to file the injury... and have went to the provincial court to try to file a claim for the fee... but do you guys think i will have a better chance in winning the case?

are there any free or non-expensive charge lawyers that i can contact?

Is it in Richmond?
We have a friend got the same situation, they tried so many different ways and the dog finally RIP.........

I remembered that the other side refused to pay and my friend paid $12000 and still can not save the life.

The following info is for the US. However, I am sure it will contain some useful infomation for you as well. http://www.dogbitelaw.com/

Hope that helps. And you being the rightful owner of your dog, you can suffer depression which may also help you to receive money on top of your dog medical bill..! Your dog can also suffer long team problems, which require long team medicare.. so, I would not just go settle for a few hundreds..! Go get yourself a lawyer

yeah it was in Richmond on river road near terra nova area...

was your friend's dog bitten on the neck as well? and do you know what procedures did they take?

we went to the clinic and the doctor said he was lucky because it was soo close in being bitten on the throat... luckily he was only bitten on the skin.... well that's what he said= ="

thanks!

honestly....i know people are just doing their jobs... but when i arrived at RAPS... i felt that they weren't that "into" help us at all.... their tones and the way they spoke was soo "whatever" type of feel...

do you know if we can get our family doctor to refer a psychologist? cuz my mom was actually the one who saw the whole process... and she's getting more emotional after yesterday... and she can't sleep well too..=(

作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2010-4-22 12:34

I can't tell you the whole story but it was very scary. The big dog pull my friend's poodle out from the fence....all bones cracked....

They want to animal hospital in Vancouver and Burnaby....
No hope after few treatment...RIP

So, when you take you dog out, make sure you know what is approaching them. I always hold my dog when I see big one came by. Just to be safe.

yeah we usually hold him close to us when we take him out and see big dogs approaching...
but in this case.. my mom didn't even have time to react because by the time she walked pass the car... the dog jumped out immediately and jumped onto our dog...

the owner of that dog was stupid enough to ask my mom to hold up my dog while he was biting on him....

I find this article for dog bite people, not dog bite another dog.
http://www.myinjury.ca/dog-bite-injuries.php

Most home insurance covered this kind of incident.
So, as long as you have the owner's contact info, you can talk to your lawyer and see what you can do. Or you can talk to city of richmond and file a complaint. A dog which attacked someone consider a dangerous animal and they need to be check on. It may attack a small children or another dog in the future.

thanks a lot!
we have called the City of Richmond to report the accident.. but i guess they couldn't do much cuz RAPS is the one responsible i think?

also by looking at the city law, obviously the woman has broken one since her dog was not on leash and without muzzled...
but anyone knows how to sue her for that?= =

Under the personal liability coverage of most Home Insurance, the owner of the animals owned by the named insured is legally liable for the damages caused...

u may try to contact ur home insurance company.. usually the owner of the dog should be legally liable to any injuries caused to human being but I'm not sure what would happen if dog attacked dog.

作者: manmankym 時間: 2010-4-22 13:52

Plus, under the Animal Control bylaw, an owner is responsible should their animal kill, hurt and harass a person or another animal.

For more information, pls refer to https://www.richmond.ca/news/2005_city/animal_2505.htm

hope your dog is ok,

have you check with your small claim count? due to another dog owner valid the law/regulations, you need to spend so much money on medical expenses.

yes we have gone to the small claim court...but the thing was my mom got freaked out that she forgot to write down that dog owner's address.. all she had was the cell phone # and first name (apparently i was able to find her full name on Google=P)

and the thing is... we did not know exactly what kind of breed that dog was... it was like a pit bull or rockrider? but a guy at RAPS said that if it's a rockrider and has no record of biting anyone/thing before, it's not considered as dangerous... on the other hand... if the breed was pit bull, then it's considered dangerous even if it was first born....... i wasn't exactly sure if it's still considered as dangerous if it happens to have no record of harming others....even if he bit my dog

作者: fibbi 時間: 2010-4-22 15:43

I"m sorry to hear that...hope your dog is ok...

作者: tofu 時間: 2010-4-22 15:44

some paid website will able to provide the address & full name of the cell phone owner

no matter her dog is  a dangerous dog or not, her dog should be on leash on the time at the public place.  (unless you were at the unleash park).
your dog was hurt due to her unattendant dog.

do you have a witness?  do you have anything to prove that her dog bit your dog?

in china only 暴力 can solve your problem, but in canada, police can solve it out as long as you have the owner's info
