HOW MUCH CAN YOU GET FOR A DOG BITE? LAWYERS MN

Our dog bite lawyers have handled hundreds of cases throughout Minnnesota. People often want to know how much compensation they can get for a dog bite or if they are injured by a dog. Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer for this. The amount of the settlement can be a few thousand dollars, or more than a million. Basically, the dog bite settlement depends on two things: The extent of the injury and the amount of available insurance.

MN law provides strict liability against the dog owner. In other words, you don’t have to prove the owner knew or should have known their dog would bite. Also, there is no “one bite” rule. The dog owner is responsible the first time their dog bites someone. Fortunately, most dog owners have homeowners insurance that will pay the settlement. At the same time, the amount of coverage is not unlimited. In most cases, the maximum insurance is $300,000. However, we have had cases where the amount of insurance is well over a million dollars.

Before the homeowners insurance will pay anything, you have to prove what your case is worth. Our dog bite lawyers are very experienced with this process. Of course, the starting point is medical bills. However, there is much more to a dog bite case. Most importantly, if there is a significant scar, there must be significant compensation. The amount of compensation for a dog bite scar depends on the age of the victim, where on the body the scar is, and the extent of the scar.
