Every Tuesday, my friends as well as I go to the nearest park for a pickup game of basketball.
The lovely park is a big area with numerous basketball courts, awesome playground equipment, as well as there are plenty of fields for playing frisbee, pigskin, or soccer.
The peewee pigskin team practices at the park every week, just like I did as a kid. When I was young, I spent every day hanging out in the park, however some random times, we went out and built forts in the woods behind the park. In 15 years, though, we’ve never had any problems with stray animals or vicious dogs roaming the park. Then last weekend, I got bit by a big as well as horrible dog. The park doesn’t allow dogs at all, even if they are on 6 ft leashes with responsible owners. I was surprised when I saw the dog at first. I looked around for the owner of the dog, but I did not see anyone acting like they knew the animal. The dog had a collar as well as a name tag, but I actually did not get close enough to see the information. I tried to get right away from the dog, but it lunged as well as grabbed myself and others super hastily. My arm was covered in blood in a few hours. My neighbor had to come over and pull the dog off me. The dog ran away, but not before the two of us, thankfully, could get the tags. Before I contacted the owner, I’m trying to go out and find a lawyer that specializes in dog bites. A neighbor of mine knows a good lawyer that works in Southfield, as well as I am going to give him a long phone call tomorrow. The owner of the dog should be responsible for all of my incurred injuries as well as the lawyer will make sure that I receive the proper compensation.
