Grand-daughter had her toe nail ripped off on a disability grocery cart at Target. She had to go the doctor. Her toe nail has not grown back in.

I suggest talking to the insurance person, see what they are willing to do for you, and if you are not satisfied, then contact a laawyer. Unfortunately, since the toe nail will no doubt grow back, the damages are fairly minimal in the scheme of things and you may have trouble finding a lawyer willing to take the case on - so if you can satisfactorily resolve it without using a lawyer you may be further ahead.

If the Sheriff had a warrant to seize the dogs then it was valid. If they were claiming animal cruelty, then they may be able to seize them without a warrant. If they were a breed of dog not allowed in the location you lived, they could seize them without a warrant.  Since you were not charged with a crime it is not clear the basis for the seizure.  That said, if they were impropoerly seized, you might have a civil claim of action against the Sheriff and / or Humane Society for the value of the dogs that were not returned. To pursue such a claim, it is mandatory that you file a "Notice of Claim" under the proper statute within 182 days fo when the dogs were seized. It has to be filed with the proper entity and in the proper way. The County or City where you live MAY have information on their website on how to do that - the City of Boulder does have such information on their website, for example.

What can be done if one is involved in a hit and run but there is no proof?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Personal Injury lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
She should contact a lawyer that has handled these before - she should only tell police. I want a lawyer and I do not want to talk any more. The lawyer can help her deal with this. I have done several of these, both where my client was the hit and run driver and not. The cop will never believe your proof, but will collect statements and evidence and then charge your friend. Better to not give them evidence, have a lawyer tell them to back off.
