FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dog Bite FAQs

  • Is the dog’s owner always responsible?

    Often, yes—especially if the dog had shown aggression before or the bite happened unprovoked.

  • What if it was a friend’s or neighbor’s dog?

    That doesn’t automatically block your claim. Their homeowner’s insurance may still cover it.

  • What if my child was bitten?

    Child cases are taken very seriously and may involve added damages for trauma or disfigurement.

  • Do I need to report the bite?

    Yes. You should report it to animal control or the local police. It helps your case and protects others.
