发帖数: 420 | 1 I am living in Orange county. My mom, 67 year old, came from oversea to
visit me. Last month, on a early Sunday morning, while she walk along
street, neighbor’s dog ran out, and knock her down on the street. Her
head and should hit the street, and she felt great pain in head, and
was shaking for a hour.
The dog’s owner does not want to go to hospital with us. But offered
$150. I said I don’t want to that money, I want the dog owner pay
whatever medical expense is. I took her to the nearby emergency
facility, doctor ordered CT and X-ray.
Thankfully, after stay in hospital for 5 hours, there is no big problem
immediately found with my Mom.
2 weeks later, I got bills from hospital. Total amount is $600. I gave
the bill to dog’s owner, asked him to write the check to hospital (or
me). He refused to pay. He only wants to pay $150.
He does not have dog insurance. He said it is my Mom’s fault not to have
visitor’s medical insurance. He also suspects she is illegal immigrant.
I never get into legal issue.
Is the dog’s owner’s full responsibility to pay exam fees?
For now, I only ask for this fee. If I have to take him to court, I
also think ask for compensation for pain my Mom suffered, time we spent,
and court fee etc. Can I do that?
My mom will leave country and back to home town in 45 days, she visa
will expire by then and I already bought air ticket for her. I heard it
takes 2 months for the small court to hear the claim. Also my Mom does
not speak English. Can I full represent her, even after she left USA?
It is better for me to take him to small court, or hire a lawyer to sue
him formally? I am afraid lawyer is too expensive. I know it is just
an accident, I don’t really make him to pay big money.
And how is outcome looks like if I sue him?
Thanks a lot! | J******h

很多年以前，我一个朋友也是走在路上，被一只小狗轻轻咬了一口。最后律师替他拿回
来三千块，一千给他，一千律师，另外一千给医生。

其实，告诉狗的主人，这种情况他应该付全责，只付医药费已经算是最轻的了。如果不
付，你说你会联系你的律师，到时候要付的就不止600了。
最后。。。。。。。。。。。。。求求你可不可以把英语学好一点？

发帖数: 551 | 6 Go get an attorney to help you. The house owner probably have homeowner
insurance on his/her house, and that usually covers this kind of incident.
Once you sue them they'll render the case to their insurance company, and
their company pays. Try to find professional attorney who is good, since
there're a lot of tricks in such situation. For example, in some scenarios
the insurance company have to pay your medical cost even if your medical
insurance have already paid for it.
For example, if the medical cost is $10K, and your medical insurances pays $
9K and you pay $1K copay, you may think the maximum amount they can pay is $
1K. But that's incorrect! In some scenario, their insurance company may need
to pay you $10K, so it's like you're making $9K.
Opportunity for you to get $. Good luck!

这样讲话有品位。所以，你看到这样的就心烦。问题之一是，你有没有想过，也许别人
不是那样觉得的呢？你所认为的，也许不是所谓的真相呢？

而且这种case是contingency-based的，就是律师如果要不回来钱，他自己一分钱也拿
