>> This case will never make it to trial. Â Any fool can sue anyone for any reason. Â It will likely be tossed on the merits, sent to court-ordered mediation or settled prior to trial as a nuisance claim by the insurance company. Â Â
@donnatella: The insurance company shouldn't even settle.
@ctl74: Sometimes they do just to make it go away. Not worth the expense to ready it for trial.
@donnatella: Â That's why the beagle's owner should counter-sue! Â They were being good neighbors and didn't plan to sue Nutso. Â It wouldn't bring their beagle back and, as a result of the incident, the police listed Nutso's dogs as "dangerous" which meant she had to make modifications to insure that they were contained. Â The beagle's owners have a much stronger case, so they should counter-sue Nutso... if for no other reason than to make sure she doesn't profit from the incident.
