If my neighbor's dogs be to motivation me to injure myself on my property, who would hold to reward medical bills?


My neighbor lets his two BIG dogs out a couple times a afternoon for a few minutes. I am very afraid of dogs. Sometimes they come into my courtyard as I am walking up very steep stairs. I'm afraid that I may drop one of these times when they come at me.

Note: They are not mean, do not attack, but are overly friendly and move briskly (surprise attack).

If I got hurt, would I be capable of sue the neighbor for the dogs coming on my property, or would my homeowners insurance have to cover it?

P.S. Please NO direction about discussion to neighbor beforehand to avoid situation, I just want to know properly what could be done.

Thanks!!!
Answers:
i would reflect you would have to be physically attack to enjoy anything for sure. but it would be hard to prove you fell because dogs terrified you.you would have a better uncertainty of going to court to keep his dogs on your property..

put a barricade up
Your neighbor must pay
You do not want his dogs on your property.Make that reality known to him any with signs and or convey him in no suspicious terms.His dogs are trespassing on your private space and he will be responable for the injury cause to you and or your family.Is at hand a leash law contained by your town.If your neighbor is a ******** have a attorney send him a register,that should make him content.The lawyer will probably charge something like 30 dollars for a quick communication.
IANAL, but you would probably have a valise. Those dogs are supposed to restrained and not allowed to roam around, so should they hurt others or verbs property, the owners are liable for those damages.

So yes.. should you get hurt and the total interfere with was smaller quantity than $5000 or so, you could sue in small claims court.
If you are injured because your neighbors dogs charge you consequently your neighbor would be liable. Your homeowners insurance never pays for the named insureds injury regardless of what happen.
Not so sure it would be your neighbor's responsibility. If the dogs do not knock you over and you fall on your own steps (that are too steep), later you might be at fault.
Anyone can sue anyone else for anything. The give somebody the third degree is, will you win?

Probably not. Slipping on your own steps, you likely won't own someone else to blame for your maintenance issues.

Your homeowners insurance won't cover you, any. You'll need a strength insurance policy to cover you.

OR, you could do what a reasonable and prudent human being would do, and replace the steps with safer, smaller quantity steep steps, and put handrails within. If someone ELSE who doesn't live with you falls on those steps, and sues you, in good health, you're NEGLIGENT, aren't you, because you already KNOW those steps are too steep!! So you'll likley lose in court.

And most homeowners policies hold an exclusion for "expected or intended injury", which, if you know your steps are steep, and don't do anything to fix it . . . technically, you are expecting that injury! So if you DO get successfully sued, your homeowners policy won't necessarily cover you! You *might* enjoy to pay out of pocket!
I believe that legally unless you be directly attacked by the dogs, you have to treaty with your medical bills. That said, it would be a courtesy for your neighbor to pick them up because it be their dogs that caused you to trickle. (In which case, their homeowners' policy would cover it.)
I mull over your neighbor would be responsible.

But the fact that you own recognized a potentially hazardous situation, and did nought to protect your own health/property, is wrong; morally.
But I suppose morals don't count for much when there's money involved.
I'd judge he'd be responsible, since he doesn't keep them on a leash or restrained.

I would also recount him that should his dogs cause you to be injured, he'd be responsible!
I believe your neighbor is breaking an ordinance by letting the dogs roam loose, even if it is accidental. It is their responsibility to restrain the dogs. The neighbors, I believe, are liable for injuries or incapacitate to property done by their dogs.
Your neighbor has a legally recognized obligation to ensure his dogs remain beneath control at all times. If your neighbor's dogs enter your property and do something to motivation you injury, he would be negligent and as a consequence responsible. The big question is whether or not they know that their dogs can access your property. If they do not know this, and you do nought to inform them of this, then you would be a contributing factor surrounded by the accident. While they may be found slipshod, the damages awarded will be greatly reduced since you contributed to the accident by not allowing your neighbor's an opportunity to prevent their dogs from access your backyard. A reasonable creature would, at the very lowest possible, leave a memo on their door informing them of the situation. A reasonable party would not, however, keep this information to themselves and allow a potentially dodgy situation to continue.
