Dog Bite Insurance Protection

Answer:

Not long ago, someone who was bitten by a dog and seriously injured decided that they didn’t want to pursue with a claim because they didn’t want to sue a neighbor. I explained to that person that dog bites are often covered by a person’s homeowner’s insurance. The first step that an experienced lawyer would take would be contacting the dog owner’s insurance company. Many times, these claims can be resolved through negotiations with the insurance company. Only if the insurance company refuses, will it be necessary to proceed with a lawsuit against the dog’s owner and those instances are few and far between.
