Ha...sue to oblivion? I guess it'd depend on what a "bite" is but unless the dog took you down, ate out your organs, your left arm, and you lost an eye, etc, you might be pretty disappointed what oblivion would be.
Edit: for an example....if you got say a pretty good dog bite that required you to seek medical help and say you had to get 5 or 6 stitches. And the medical bill came to say $600 (probably depends on location). If you were to take the cast to court to seek "pain and suffering" damages, and it was found that you were having lots of pain and suffering, you'll probably receive between $1200 - $2400. Far from oblivion. Despite the some sensational headlines that make the media, you'd find that most settlements and awards are a lot more reasonable.
But you might luck out and get a dog that wasn't vaccinated for rabies, in which case I'm sure you'd get more.
- gaius 13y agoYes I have checked out the relevant law here now (Dangerous Dogs Act 1991) and it says You can be fined up to £5,000 and/or sent to prison for up to 6 months if your dog is out of control. You may also not be allowed to own a dog in the future. If you let your dog injure someone, you can be sent to prison for up to 2 years and/or fined
