Re: neglegence of dog owners, are they liable?
IN Missouri, owners are generally liable for injuries caused by their dogs. There is a five year limitation statute, which requires that suit be filed within that time period or it is forever barred. I would need to know the type of dog, extent of your injuries, and date you were attacked to advise you on this matter.
I am happy to answer other questions on this topic, and invite you to call me for a free consult at 314.621.6519. I can not represent you until we speak, and look forward to talking with you.

If you are injured (ie medical bills) and you can establish a vicious propensity on the part of the dog (allowed 1 previous incident against anybody) I can get some compensation from homeowners liability policy for you. I have handled these type cases before. Call to discuss at 725-8000. No recovery no fee.
