Can I sue the owners of the dog who almost mauled me to death?

Three dogs surrounded me outside near my car and one attacked me twice sending me to the ER. Someone called the ambulance as the attack was kind of bloody. The police are not helping me, Apt complete I feel is responsiblethey allowed this lad to have 3 vicious dogs she can't control? Someone needs to pay for my bills and I can't even get her address from the police or apt complex. It seems I need to be mauled to death to get help. This was horrible and the dog even tried to follow me inside to attack me the 3rd time. My knee is punctured and black, and is hurting very badly and I am more than mad that the wounds were not stitched as 4 days later they are still bleeding. I can't even bend my knee. No one will help me.

Yes you can sue the owner for the injuries you sustained. Take photos of your injuries now. If you get no relief from the cops you can try calling the D.A.'s office in the county where the attack occurred and let them know you want to file a complaint and that the police won't act.

You may have a case against the dog owner. You could have one against the apartment complex, but an attorney would need more information to assess that possibility. I'd contact a personal injury attorney in your area and set up a consultation.
