How severe does a dog bite have to be to sue?

First of all, your priority should be "Do I need medical attention" not "Can I sue". However, if the bite was severe enough to warrant medical attention AND you were not at fault for the bite (be honest here) then you should approach the dog's owner about being reimbursed for any expenses. If the dog's owner refuses a reasonable request for reimbursement THEN consider making a small claim; NOT before. jeez, what is WRONG with people?


What do you sue for if someones dog bite you?

You can sue without a lawyer. You have the right to represent yourself if you want to. Depending on the severity of the dog bite and your potential for winning - a lawyer may be willing to work with you for free until the settlement. Once you file a lawsuit, the homeowner would likely file a claim at that point.
