How Insurance Companies Look At Dog Bites
If the owner of the dog owns his or her own home, the owner will likely carry a special policy or rider to cover dog bites. While it may seem inviting to settle quickly for a home owner policy settlement, remember: that insurance company is not working for you.
We urge you not to sign anything with the insurance company until you have contacted a dog bite attorney with Recht Law Offices. You may be entitled to damages above and beyond what the insurance policy can offer you.
Owners of attack-prone breeds are likely to carry such coverage. This alphabetical list notes some breeds found to have aggressive tendencies:
- Chihuahuas
- Chow Chow
- Cocker Spaniel
- Dachshunds
- Giant Schnauzers
- Llasa Apso
- Miniature Pinschers
- Pekinese
- Pit Bull
- Rottweiler
- Toy Poodles
