Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML

Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML

Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML

Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML

Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML

Running

Today, I completed my 6-month training program for a track competition this weekend. I went to the park to run anyways because I needed some air after my boyfriend broke up with me. After one lap, my neighbor's 130 lb dog ran across the soccer field and jumped on me to say hi. My leg is broken. FML

Today, I was walking down a path in the woods behind my house when I saw a squirrel. It ran away, but little did I know it wasn't running from me, it was running from the dog that had forced Animal Control to sweep the area. I ended up with stitches in my leg. FML

Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML

Today, I was standing at our fence welcoming our new neighbors as they moved in. My 85-pound boxer thought it would be a good idea to start sprinting along the fence line so their dog would join in. He crashed into my right knee at full speed. I now have a sprained and/or torn MCL and PCL. FML

Take pictures of your injury now, in case this goes to court after you've healed. As long as you have a good lawyer, you shouldn't lose. Still, FYL for the hassle and lawyer fees :

You do realize that not only can you countersue for your own emotional distress, in addition to medical costs, court fes, etc., but you can report the dog as being vicious and dangerous to the police and have the dog put down before anything goes to court. Take pictures of your injuries and contact the local authorities.

counter sue for pain, suffering, medical bills, lost work hours, and mental/emotional distress . she will drop the suit and settle out of court.

As an attorney, I agree w everyone on here telling you to countersue, or simply sue her yourself since odds are 99% likely that any attorney she consults will tell her she has no case against you and is completely liable for your injuries.

Bring medical records and try to get a witness statement. Then laugh all the way to the bank when the bitch has to pay for your medical bills and the mutt is euthanized for aggression. :D

Heh, she has no possible hope of winning that lawsuit. But you definitely could sue her, and probably should!

this is ridiculous. what emotional distress have you caused this woman or her dog? im sure she's probably swimming in debt and just needs alot of money - and it's typical that people these days depend on sueing for their income...
