These dogs were all on a leash at that time. I was walking with my Labrador loose in the forest past one of the shelter dogs and it grabbed my dog. When the fight was over I only found out at home that my dog ​​was injured. I then went back to the event to look for the woman who had the other dog. I found her through another organization. She agreed with me and gave me the card of the dog's shelter so that I could send the vet's bill there.\n\n No sooner said than done.\n \nWith great surprise I received a letter back from someone from the shelter stating that they do not consider themselves liable. This is because now suddenly our dog has attacked their dog, because it was running loose and then you are always 'guilty' according to them and because I never spoke to the woman who had the shelter dog but to a volunteer and she had no right to tell me this. All in all everything turned upside down and lies. They also say they have witnesses, but I have them too.\n\n Now I actually have several questions.\n\n - Am I even within my rights (because my dog ​​was loose)\n\n - Do you think there is any chance of success if I were to continue?\n\n - And suppose I had spoken to a volunteer, shouldn't he have promised me this?\n\n I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThe owner of a biting dog is liable for the damage caused by it. The fact that your dog is running loose does not immediately change this, but it can lead to the conclusion that you have to bear part of the damage yourself because you have taken a certain risk by leaving your dog unleashed.\n\n You must be able to prove that you are right, for example by means of witnesses. You indicate that you have them at your disposal. Of course, I cannot judge now which witnesses are more credible, yours or those of the other party.\n\n The final question is whether the costs of a procedure outweigh the damage to your dog. If you have legal expenses insurance, it is wise to use it for this question. You can also hire a lawyer who handles the case on a 'no cure, no pay' basis. I would like to point out that a lawyer is not allowed to work on a 'no cure, no pay' basis based on his code of conduct.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nYou have a problem of evidence that I think you cannot solve. If you can prove the course of events, you will be in a strong legal position.\n\n Advice: check whether you can provide evidence or let the matter drop.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55019782144349,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-4419-er-was-een-evenement-in-het-bos-gaande-waarbij-45-asielhonden-werden-voorgesteld-aan-publiek-deze-h","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
