We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet, and we are sorry that your children had to witness the loss. This must be a difficult time for your family as you grieve the loss of your pet.
The Iowa dog bite statute allows dog owners to recover damages if another “dog is caught in the action of worrying, maiming, or killing a domestic animal.” Since your children saw the dog killing their dog, then you might have a legal case, and you may be able to recover damages for the loss that you have sustained.
Your actual recovery may be dependent on a variety of factors including, but not limited to: vet bills incurred as a result of the accident, burial or death expenses, the value of the dog, and the emotional loss to your family.
You can learn more about your legal rights and potential recovery by contacting an experienced Davenport dog bite lawyer today for a free consultation.
