Oh my dear I am so sorry Merlot and you have gone thru such a horrible situation.
I am so glad you were able to get help from your neighbors, they will also come in handy if you have to sue for this.
I am sure any judge will ask you first off, did you present them with the bills and give them a chance to take care of it.
They may be afraid to contact you.
I would take someone with you like one of the neighbors so they can also witness you giving the pit owner the oppurtunity to take care of the expenses since if it goes to court hopefully the neighbors will agree to go as a witness.
Very very sad.
Give Merlot a big hug from us.
Again I am so sorry it breaks my heart to hear of this.
