My daughter was at one her friends house here in Fort Wayne IN and the home is owned by her father The sister of the woman that lives in that house was visiting from Chicago and had her dog with her. My daughter received a nasty bite from the dog in that house and the medical expenses is over $1,000 for her treatment. The father says his home owners insurance will not pay for it. And it appears that he will not pay either.
I believe that the liability is on him because it is his house. It should be his responsibility to either pay or have his insurance pay. Correct?
I think she can file a small claims case against him and be awarded damages. Correct?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
