In August of 2010, my family and I went on vacation to Bethany Beach, DE where we rented a "pet friendly" home. I put pet friendly in quotations because that is what it said in the packet. Our first day there, our small dog was snooping around and ingested some rat poison that was behind the refrigerator. After this occurred, my Mother and Father filled the Realtor in with all of the information while my Wife and I took our dog to Petsmart-Banfield Pet Hospital an hour away. Since then, we have been incurring bill after bill with issues that have come up with our dog, all pertaining to the ingestion of rat poison at a "pet friendly" home. Blood work, medication and other tests that are deemed necessary to be sure there are no permanent ill-effects with our dog. The bills are growing to upwards of $1000 because our dog ingest rat poison at a "pet friendly" home. My question is, should I sue for the money and can I win? The details are there. Receipts, dates, info on the home, all of it. We tried to settle with the Realtor after we incurred our first bill for taking our dog to the vet for an emergency visit but the Realtor simply replied with "it's a pet friendly home". Which it clearly is not.
They are in breach and we have the documentation to prove an exact dollar value of the tests that have gone into making sure my dog is healthy. Should we sue? I don't want a penny more than what we've spent. That's it.
