Questions
Dog bite questions
Insurance, liability, and the steps to take after a bite.
Whose insurance covers a dog bite?
Usually the dog owner’s homeowners or renters insurance. Some policies exclude certain breeds — an attorney will review coverage.
The owner is a friend. Can I still make a claim?
Yes. The claim is against their insurance, not against them personally. Many people in this situation pursue a claim — nobody has to go without medical care.
What should I do right after a bite?
Get medical care — bites can carry infection. Report it to animal control. Photograph the wound. Get the owner’s insurance and contact information. Then call an attorney.
