HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE COVERS DOG BITE AWAY FROM HOME
Our dog bite lawyers have represented hundreds of people in Minnesota for a dog attack. MN law is very strict in holding the dog owner responsible. Fortunately, most dog owners have homeowners insurance that will pay the necessary compensation. This is important because a dog bite or dog attack can result in significant medical bills and permanent scars or injuries. Having homeowners insurance is a relief to all involved.
Many of the cases our dog bite lawyers handle occur at the house of the dog owner. However, homeowners’ insurance will cover a dog attack even if it is away from home. For example, our dog bite lawyers have handled cases that occurred at a park, or even at the dog groomer. Occasionally, homeowners insurance policies exclude dogs completely. Therefore, it is important to know what is in your policy. But assuming the dog owner has homeowners insurance, it will cover the dog owner’s liability regardless of where the attack occurs. Homeowner’s insurance will cover medical bills for the dog bite, and also additional compensation that may be required. This includes payment for pain and suffering or a permanent scar.
