Neighbors Dog Attacked My Mom And She Sued. The Case Has Been Closed, She Did Not Get Any Compensation And The Dogs Are Back.

location: Texas The title says it all. Around July, my mom was going on a walk and she got attacked and bit by the neighbors dog. The dog was not leashed and was unsupervised. She had to go to the hospital to get stitches and later on, shots. She did everything by the book: called animal control, the police to do a report and she got a lawyer. During the lawsuit, the lawyer kept commenting how due to the neighbor not being owner of the house, they can’t really get money out of the insurance but kept trying anyway. The case was closed and my mom didn’t even get a cent to cover the hospital bills. And as of yesterday, the dog is back with the neighbor. From what I know, the neighbors mom owns the house (?) and the lawyer said that they have no money to give. This isn’t the first time this has happened with her dog and this neighbor has an extensive history with the law. That’s the part I don’t understand, the dog has attacked multiple people multiple times before. My mom is planning to get another lawyer to get a second opinion but is there something else we can do or somewhere else we can go that we haven’t tried? Thank you for the help in advance !
