I work for a personal injury attorney. Consult with an attorney now, not later. You likely have a good claim. Please don't hurt it by trying to deal with insurance companies on your own. Please get legal advice. Just because you consult does not mean you must file a lawsuit. Consulting will simply give you more information and options. Most PI attorneys consult for free and represent you on a contingency fee basis (no money up front.).

Also, I have to tell you that if you are considering a claim, do not post details on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter etc. These postings can and will be used against you by the insurance companies. I am not trying to be scary, but this is just fact.

Take care, I truly hope you feel better soon. As a dog owner and lover, I am appalled at how some dog owners are, they give the rest of us a bad name.
