The HVAC tech filed a lawsuit.

My dog was inside the house, and I took a picture of him in his crate.

Last week, I got a letter from a local lawyer. I thought it was more information on one of these frivolous class-action lawsuits someone was always filing. I ripped up the letter and threw it in the trash. The next letter I received had to be signed for. I worried the entire time I was driving to the post office to sign for my letter. I was worried about being embarrassed, if I had forgotten to pay my taxes, or hadn’t paid a bill on time. When I got the letter, I almost laughed. The HVAC technician had filed a lawsuit against me. He said my dog had bitten him in the leg, and he was unable to work. I remembered that incident. It wasn’t my dog that bit, but the neighbor’s dog. When the HVAC technician kicked the dog, it bit him. It only latched onto his pants, and I couldn’t believe there was anything more than a bruise. I called my lawyer and made an appointment to talk to him. I showed him the paperwork, and asked if the HVAC technician could really get that much money from me. I told him what had happened. He asked if I was sure it was my dog, and I told him I was positive. My dog was inside the house, and I took a picture of him in his crate. It was dated the same day the incident happened. The description of the dog on the paperwork was completely different from the picture of my dog. The lawyer said he would take care of everything, and told me the HVAC technician didn’t have a case. I didn’t know he had tried this once before.
