HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE COMPENSATION WHEN DOG GETS OUT OF YARD AND BIT OR ATTACKED PERSON
If your dog gets out of the yard and bites or attacks someone, will your homeowners insurance still provide coverage? The answer is yes, even though the incident did not occur on your property.However, to make sure, read your policy and talk to your insurance agent to verify coverage – preferably well before your dog injures anyone.
Homeowners’ insurance still applies when the dog is not on your property. Even if the dog bite happened at a park or someone else’s house, your homeowners insurance will pay the victim’s medical bills and other compensation. If the person who was attacked by your dog sues you, your homeowner insurance will pay for a lawyer to defend you. They will also pay any court award or settlement up to your policy limits. The law in Minnesota is very strict when it comes to dog bite or dog attack cases.Therefore, in most cases there will be a settlement with the homeowners insurance.
Dog owners can be very sensitive when their dog bites or attacks someone. We understand that people love their dogs. However, it is unfortunate when they are more concerned about the dog than the person the dog attacked. Don’t be that person.
