There are a number of things to consider, both from a legal, as well as practical, standpoint, including whether or not you have homeowner's insurance, as well as the relationship with and status of the worker.

Re: Dog Bite

1. Write down everything that happened.

2. Report the incident to your homeowners insurance company.

3. If you have no insurance, retain me when he sues you.

Good luck.
