What a horrible experience and I can't believe how that dog owner handled it.

A lawyer named Gary Brustin spoke at our club meeting recently. He is a cyclist and all he does now are cycling related cases. His website says he is a California bicycle accident attorney, but he handles cases in other states through associate counsel. He will discuss the details of the case and bike laws, explain procedures, and advise you of your rights.

Here's a link to his site if you are interested. http://bicyclelawyer.com/

I'm not a "sue happy" person either, but would at least look into my rights and the rights of the dog owner if I were you.

Hope you heal quickly and are back in the saddle soon!
