DOG BITE INJURY ATTORNEY

A dog is man’s best friend. Well, not always. There are well over 4 million people bitten by dogs each year. Unfortunately, children in the ages of 5 to 9 years old are the most frequently bitten. Dog bites, especially those involving children, can be devastating and sometimes fatal.

 

Homeowners’ and renters’ insurance policies typically cover dog bite liability. Such policies typically range from $100,000 to $300,000. Some insurance companies will not insure dogs of certain categories such as pit bulls. In the event of a serious dog bite injury, it is wise to get an attorney to explore coverages available. Also, insurance companies tend to put up strong defenses in these type of cases so that an attorney is almost always necessary in order to prevail.
