What is my liability when my dog causes injury to another dog and a loss of work for the owner?

My dog was in my front yard (no fence), ran after the other dog, presumably to play. The other dog had some staples that tore a little. A tussle (no biting) ensued between the two dogs. The owner jumped on top of both dogs, and re-injured his back.

He wants me to pay the vet bill, and for his time lost at work 3 days, which he claims is $4000.
Am I stupid to just give him a grand to make the problem go away?
I had my hand on my dog, I turned away for a moment, and she dashed away. His dog was on a lead!
