Dog Bites

Dog owners are responsible for ensuring their pets don’t cause harm to others. When a dog attacks a person, the injuries can sometimes be severe, even requiring emergency and ongoing medical treatment. Scars and disfigurement can result and in the worst scenarios, victims may even be killed. In most cases, the dog owner's homeowner's insurance handles injury claims. If an attack happens while the victim is legally on private property (e.g. an invited guest, to deliver mail, etc.) or while the victim is on public property, the owner is typically liable as long as the victim was not intentionally and persistently antagonizing the animal.
