Bicycle wreck...dog...what would you do?

[goldfinch]

A lawyer might surprise you, goldfinch. Many communities have "bicycle lawyers" who are quite often happy to help with this sort of thing for a reasonable fee.

She has a claim of likely less than $500. What fee would be reasonable? A contingency agreement would be unlikely. An hourly rate would eat up any recovery mighty fast.

This is why there is small claims court.

Keep in mind, even if she wins she still has to collect. That can be the hard part. That is why I suggested a letter first.
