unless he just holds his hands up and says fair cop, it will likely get into the old bullshit of he was aggravating the dog etc.I was in my garden talking to the guy who lives next door, something had dug up a dead cat I had buried a few weeks before & he came round to tell me it was ripped in half & dumped in the grass, it was starting to STINK & I had to rebury it ASAP.
His dog was loose in the garden, went mad & jumped the fence & took a piece out my leg, all I was doing was talking to the guy.
Only Witnesses are me & the people next door, I am starting to see how this may not be such a simple case now.
lies will be told.
ultimately you were still bitten though.....
the cops will help see through that shit and their report back to the courts will carry more weight if there's a major difference if both your stories.
courts aren't stupid though, they'll know the neighbors will all stick together and tell the same story, just depends how far their BS goes and if the police get deep enough involved to have to interview them and cut through the BS by finding inconsistencies in their story.
but as I said I doubt the cops will go that far, they have better things to do and simply won't care, so it will end up in court for a judge to decide....
usually shit like this gets settled out of court before, but your legal rep will best advise on that....
another problem for you to think about, if you go down the no win no fee route you'll get fucked over on what % of the settlement you get, if you pay for legal rep yourself brace for how much it's going to cost up front to pay for a solicitor!
