One of the positive aspects of the quantitativeâqualitative debate over methods in the social sciences over. the last 30 years has been the growing acceptance of qualitative methods in social science research, research funding, and research training programs.
There is a special dynamic when injury cases, particularly dog bite cases go to the jury. It often seems like the jury (and sometimes, judges) believe that someone should pay for the injury, for the human pain and suffering.
Most dog-bite disputes never get to court; they're settled by negotiations between the injured person and the dog owner or insurance company. You don't want to get embroiled in a lawsuit if you can help it; the time and expense are mind-boggling. If you've been injured by a dog, contact the dog's owner. Write a letter setting out what happenedâeven though the owner may know the facts as well as you do.
