INJURED OR BIT BY DOG WHILE WORKING ON THE JOB – ATTORNEYS
Workers come into contact with dogs every day on the job. For example, mail carriers and newspaper carriers often deliver to homes that have dogs. Amazon and UPS deliver to people’s homes constantly. Also, cable and satellite workers have to go into a house with dogs. Of course, utility and repair workers work on people’s property or in their homes every day. In Minnesota, the dog owner is responsible for any injury or bite caused by their dog.
Homeowners should restrain their dog when they know a worker is coming to the house. It doesn’t matter that the dog has never bitten anyone before. Unfortunately, sometimes the dog owner just doesn’t act responsibly. The homeowner often thinks the dog won’t attack, or just forgets to lock the dog in a room. Even when the owner tries to be careful, sometimes a dog gets out and attacks or bites the worker on the job. As a result, our top rated dog bite lawyers in MN have handled many of these injury cases.
We have represented postal workers, Federal Express or UPS delivery people, and many others. Our attorneys have even represented pizza and food delivery people bitten by a dog. Of course, the homeowner ordered the food and knows the delivery was coming.
HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE FOR DOG BITE / ATTACK
At a minimum, an employee will be entitled to workers comp after a dog injures him or her while on the job working. However, workers comp benefits in Minnesota are limited. Fortunately, most homeowners have homeowners insurance to cover a dog attack or dog bite injury to a worker at their house. Therefore, to be fully compensated, you will have to pursue a claim against the homeowners insurance as well.
