Injuries from Dog & Animal Bites

One of the fastest-growing injury claims in our community involves unprovoked attacks by dogs. We live in a suburban area where there are large neighborhoods and people are close. Many people think it is fine to allow their dogs to wander at large on the sidewalk, playground or the street but those animals can bite people that are just trying to enjoy the outdoors. If you are bitten or attacked, injury is certain and oftentimes severe. Who will pay your medical bills and compensate you?

 

In these cases, a thorough investigation will reveal a homeowners insurance policy that could cover the loss but those insurance companies always question whether you did something wrong to provoke the attack or injury.
