IF NEIGHBOR’S DOG BIT/ATTACKED YOU, IS THEIR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE RESPONSIBLE?
The answer is yes. If you or a family member are bitten or attacked by a neighbor’s dog, the neighbor’s homeowners insurance is responsible. They must pay medical bills and other compensation. Hopefully, you will not need rabies shots, but you may have other medical bills for scars or your injury. Our Minnesota dog bite lawyer represents many people bitten or attacked by a neighbor’s dog. We contact the neighbor’s homeowners insurance and pursue the claim for you. Our attorneys make sure you are fully compensated for medical bills, lost wages, future needs, and more.
The neighbor’s insurance is responsible for a dog bite injury whether the attack occurs in or out of their house. The dog attack may occur on their property, on the street, at the park or anywhere else.
However, should you make a dog bite claim on the neighbor’s insurance? Again, the answer is usually yes is your injury is significant. Of course, it can initially be uncomfortable to tell the neighbor you are pursuing a claim against their homeowners insurance. But in most cases the neighbor feels responsible and is happy that your medical bills and other compensation will be paid. When a top rated dog bite attorney from our office deals with the insurance company, the neighbor will usually not be involved or even hear about the situation again.
Will the neighbor’s insurance rate go up for a dog bite? Maybe a little. However, it will be nothing compared to the benefit you will receive. That is why they have the insurance.
