So sorry this happened to you. I think you will have no problem prevailing in small claims court. But if small claims does not pay enough to cover your costs in your state, you might want to go by another venue.

By the way, you may be able to file against the homeowners insurance of the pit bull's owner, if they have such coverage.

I highly recommend a lawyer. They usually do not charge for initial consultation.

we must have been posting at the same time. but you made some even better points!!
