Expunge One Oregon Conviction
- Q. Steps to pursue compensation after my son was bitten by a pitbull?
- A: More information is needed to establish if there is liability. If the dog was off leash there is liability in most counties. See if you can find out from animal control if the dog has attacked anyone before. If the dog previously attacked someone there would be liability in all counties.
The next issue is if the owner of the dog has any insurance or assets to go after. You will definitely need the name and contact information of the dog owner. Unfortunately, sometimes homeless people own vicious dogs but there is no way to collect from a homeless person with no assets. Another possibility is if someone other than the owner was negligent in allowing the dog on their property.

- Q. If you return a stolen dog in oregon can you still be charged
- A: I suggest you exercise your right to remain silent if you stole the dog. If you think returning the dog would cause too many questions, you could have someone you trust return the dog for you without making any statements. The dog owner will likely be grateful for the return of the dog. If you return the dog yourself, the DA may choose not to charge you with a crime or give you a minimal charge with a reasonable plea offer.
