Dog bites on rented property
I live in a mobile home park. I was bitten by the neighbors pit bull while in my own yard. Who is responsible for my injury? I have medicial bills to pay. Thank you for any help you can give me in this matter.

Re: Dog bites on rented property
Assuming no one provoked the dog to bite, then your neighbor is liable. You could ask your neighbor if they have homeowners insurance, which might cover it. Or, you can contact an attorney who can usually recover more money than your average person.
