What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I'll keep this concise. The neighbor's dog (pit bull mix) was running at large and jumped our fence at twilight. He proceeded to maul my dog (small dachshund mix) for a few minutes. I was unable to intervene. My dog sustained substantial injuries: puncture wounds throughout his body and a dislocated tail which needed amputation. Medical bills have totaled approximately $3600. The neighbors have acknowledged that there dog was the one that did this and verbally agreed to "help pay for the medical bills". What are our odds for receiving compensation in full if we end up having to sue them in small claims court?
