What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I volunteered for a rescue organization and fostered a dog for them. While the dog was in my home it was attacked by one of my own personal dogs. I do not have the entire amount of the medical bills to be able to pay to the rescue organization.
I attempted to talk with the President of the rescue (it's a small organization) to make arrangements to resolve the matter. I was directed to speak with the director of their southern california operations. Less than 24 hours after starting negotiations with the Director of Southern California I was told that she was no longer allowed to discuss any matters regarding the rescue with anyone. There has apparently been a dispute between that director and the organization. She has since submitted her resignation.
I have not been contacted by anyone to setup arrangements to resolve the matter. I am wondering if they can sue me, without first trying to resolve the matter? Also - if they do hire an attorney, am I responsible for their legal fees? I did not sign any type of foster contract.
I'm not sure what to do... any/advice would be helpful, and I would be very happy to clarify or answer any questions.
