No one sees a lawyer unless they're planning to sue.
My niece got fired from her band...after being bitten by a dog at their last gig!!!

Right. The other problem is that other bands might know that taking her on as a member could lessen their opportunity to play in that, or other, venues.
Not necessarily, it may be a way to force his hand if he is notified of it, that type of strategy.

Ok, here is the bottom line. She is not going to sue, she is happy with him paying her expenses.
The band thing is just a side thing, as it is something she enjoys doing. I told her privately she needs to take a break for a while, get over her being pissed at the bar the dog, her former bandmates and the world.
She is my family, and has helped me out a lot these past few years, so yes, when she is upset, I get upset. I do not have kids..so, she is it for me. I do not like seeing her upset.
Did she over react calling a lawyer? Yes. I think she did. She should have talked with bar owner first. I think HE was concerned she would sue, or something,
That is it

Nobody here was at the bar, so we don't know what kind of attack it was. Dog attacks are damn scary. Those teeth are meant for tearing flesh, she's lucky she got away with a bite. I had a piece of my finger torn off by a dog that was just playing. It happened so fast. One moment I was closing the gate to its kennel and the next a one-inch chunk of my finger was gone. That was damn upsetting.

I don't blame the niece for being upset, by both the dog incident, and that the other people involved weren't more supportive to her. That's valid, and those are her feelings, and she did what she thought was best.
And she needs and deserves, her aunt's support and patience and care and compassion, as she gives so much of her own.

If that would have been me. I would have asked the owner of the dog was current on his/her shots. If it was then I would have had an Ambulance treated me on the spot then go on with life. Too many people are trying to make a big deal out of nothing.
Same with news on TV, that's why I don't watch it, they try to put their spin on everything & make a big deal out of nothing.
