Q. neighbor's dog came inside of my house and attacked my dog badly. Who's responsibility is that.

December 14, 2022

A: This isn't a family law question, it's a personal injury question. The owner of a dog is strictly liable for any injury or damage done by their dog. If the dog owner has renter's or homeowner's insurance, it will cover any damages caused by the dogs. You would need to file a claim with the dog owner's insurance company. You can also file a case in magistrate's court against the dog owner. In either case, insurance or court filing, you would have to be able to prove your monetary damages to receive a damages award.
