http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24530214/ Story in short: Little dog runs out into the road, gets hit and killed by car. Cardriver later sues for damages done by the dog. In good old American fashion, dogowner countersues. I tend to agree with the cardriver. Dogowners should take responsibility for the actions their dogs do or cause. The cardriver could easily have hurt himself had he tried to avoid hitting the dog. The countersue is preposterous... And seriously, why should I pay when you were stupid enough to let your dog run away???
Ok, I think that Ely dude is full of shit. If he feels for them he wouldn't sue. And no one really is to blame here. Would he also sue if it was a kid that ran in front of his car ?
ok.,to answer your question.of course not would you sue the owner if you ran over his pet mouse? would you sue a monkey for looking at your banana funny? there as,like yours,completely unrelated questions.
Wouldn't insurance cover it and his insurance would then deal with the person who caused the damage? I think he has every right to sue. Why should the deductible come out of his pocket?
Oh, Orleander , you are getting very hard since you joined this forum. Very hard. A dog is not as important as a child, granted, but which would you rather lose, your pet or your job?
That's an easy question to answer. I'd rather loose my pet. A pet doesn't feed my children, a job does.
