What is the statute of limitations for seeking payment from a dog owner who's dog caused me to crash my bike which ended up with medical/surgical bills? At first, I opted to go through my insurance company to pay my medical bills, but now the insurance company is refusing to pay for my surgery bills. Can I go back and seek payment from the dog owner? The accident happened in March 2006. That was 7 months ago.
We didn't press charges against the dog owner, but we did file a complaint to the local police department who went and spoke to the dog owner shortly after the incident.
