I live in Boynton Beach, Florida in Palm Beach County. I had the following incident happen at my house in January of 2010.
My neighbor was walking her 2 dogs on the walk way which passes by my back yard. Right around that time my Dad who was visiting was getting ready to take my brothers dog (Sasha) out for a walk. When Sasha (my dog) saw the other to dogs in our back yard she get aggravated and when my neighbors dogs started barking, Sasha (my dog) got lose from her leash and bit one of the dogs. In the process of getting them lose my dad broke his hand by getting kicked by someone who was trying to get the dogs lose and kicked my dad's hand. My neighbor's dog bit another person who got involved to break the dog fight, who shouldn't have as she does to own any of the dogs.
Now my neighbor (owner of the two dogs) is trying to collect $2409 from me for damages to her dog and others. I am in no condition to pay and also her dog came on my property and provoked my dog.
The other person who got involved and got bitten by my neighbor's dog has sued my insurance to get compensation. My dog did not bite her and also she did not own any of the dogs and she should have not got involved.
Should my Dad sue for injuries he sustained (Broken Hand) from getting kicked by others in the event.
Need advice/help.
Sincerely,
Rakibur Joarder
