why they only wrote a check for 87 dollars? Did they say that $87 was all they would pay or could it possibly be because they couldn't afford the whole amount at that time and thought about giving you part of the money? Just a thought.
You did not give the whole story as to what kind of dog, was it in your yard, what was your daughter doing when she was bit....kind of thing. How bad was she hurt? Did she have to have cosmetic surgery to repair the damage from the dog bite?
I think it would depend on the severity of the dog bite on how I would handle it. The police should have been called, a report should have been made, the dog should have been quarantined for so many days to make sure it didnt' have anything like rabies or something. The owner should have shown proof of getting all the dogs shots, etc.
I personally think that they should be held accountable for the doctor bills. You were perfectly content with just getting the money for the doctor bills until they made you mad and now you want money for losing work and money for your daughter's pain and suffering. It just amazes me how people try to be fair until they get mad and then they just want to get all the money they can out of someone. Sometimes I think people get lawyer happy. I think suing is going to be more a hassel than it is worth and if your daughter wasn't seriously injured...you probably won't get as much as you are trying to. JMO though.
