need to find out how to take acivl suit against someone and the leagal cost of doing soHow do i get free advice on taking a civil suit against someone over a dog bite?
There's a lot more information that needs to be said in order to provide you with ANY sort of answer.
Why did the dog bite, what were the circumstances, etc. You need to call your lawyer, your first step is calling animal control to report the bite though.How do i get free advice on taking a civil suit against someone over a dog bite?
call your local attorney with the biggest highway poster and you propbably won't have to give a dime...although I don't think you should overstep what the damage was. If there are scars on your face that will be horrible the rest of your life get some compensation but a puncture or four on your leg where the bike pedals have tore in a couple times is far less. Are you looking to get rich because ...
You should be able to file a small claims case.
If your damages are under $5000 (most states). You should be able to go online or call the Clerk of Court in the county where you live and ask for small claims. See if they have standard complaint, summons forms and you will have to get a Sheriff to serve your summons. It will cost you money to file the case and to serve the summons. The Clerk of Court should be able to help you will all your questions.
For your case you will need to keep a timeline of events. All your medical bills, affidavits from witnesses who saw you get biten and/or verification of days miss from work.
Hope this helps.
Nesty layers ain't cheep.
You need to call the Bar Association in your County for help and be able to provide documentation that you're an indigent, meaning you do not have the means to foot the bill for filing fees, attorney's fees, court reporter fees, etc. and otherwise a low income family. A lot of people want free legal services and can well able afford the service ... lawyers have families, mortgages, car payments, student loans, etc., so be prepared to provide proof that you can't afford the service. Good luck.
