Are you serious right now? Dude. You were the one at fault.

You slow down a bit


I know enough insurance people that they would have said you ignored an obvious threat to your vehicle by not stopping, so you would still have partial liability.

"You must maintain control of your car at all times, and as the driver obviously underrated the risk of the dog and did not slow down enough, he would be partially at fault."

No, he isn't. If your dog is in the road it's your problem unless extenuating circumstances

How was he an a-hole, though? OP was traveling on a public road; some jackass allows he's property to damage the OPs car. The only a-hole I see is the dog owner.

Pay to fix your car as it was all your fault. You coulda idled by and no incident


55mph highway. Crested a hill and didn't slam on my brakes as there was a Dodge Ram truck not too far behind me.

I'm not absolving the dog owner, but I would love to see him sue and actually win this.

It would probably be thrown out of court.

At least ask your insurance. Personally there is no way that I'd try to get money from the guy, unless he was an obnoxious neighbor and it was a reoccurring problem.

Possibly, but I'm positive I've seen a judge judy on something like this. Dog owner it's at fault.

His insurance is going to have a deductible, I'd at least expect the dog owner to cover that.

God, some of you people are stupid...

He is only at fault if the dog was in the crosswalk.

Similar thing happened to me. I reported it to my insurance, my insurance went after their homeowners, I paid nothing and car was fixed.

The dog is their responsibility.

This would be a good compromise for all involved.

The real inquiry is into whether or not the K9 X-ing sign was up to ASPCA standards

OP is actually a cock sucking a-hole. Hope his transmission goes out next time he's driving.
