Legal Question in Personal Injury in Iowa

I have a neighbor who has several dogs (over the legal limit for our state) and does not always keep them on a leash. I have made several complaints to "Animal Control" through our police department, but nothing ever gets done about this. I have to walk to the house next door to them to drop my baby off at the sitter. If one of their dogs attacks me do I have grounds to sue, and if so, who would I sue?

Your best recourse is to call the city or county animal control officer and discuss the situation. Planning on whether or not to sue isn't really going to be an alternative if the dog owners have no insurance coverage. So call the government's animal control officer. They in turn will find out if the owners have the proper insurance coverage.
