According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs in the U.S. every year. Being bitten by a dog can be a painful and frightening experience. In some cases, it can also lead to financial frustration. Dog bites can cause serious injuries that require expensive medical treatment. In addition, victims of dog bites may be unable to work for a period of time, leading to lost wages. These experiences usually lead the victim to wonder how they will be able to recover damages. Some insurance policies may be able to provide protection!
Check Your Policies!
In most states, a homeowner’s insurance policy will provide coverage between $100,000 and $300,000 if a person is bitten by a dog while on the property. This type of insurance is designed to protect the homeowner from liability in the event that someone is injured on their property. Typically, the coverage will pay for medical expenses and any property damage that occurred as a result of the dog bite.
