Dog Bites

On Friday we are going to settle a dog bite case involving a child attacked and injured by a pet dog. These cases are usually compensable. This means that the owner is usually liable for the injury. Laws in cities require that a dog be leashed when taken outside for a walk. Some cities require the taking of leash courses by owners and the dog. Many times the dog owner is covered by home owners insurance; these policies have a personal liability endorsement which provides for payment to the injured party. Often the injured party is a child. Often the injury is quite severe, sometimes a bite in the child's face. I would urge all parents to watch their children when animals are around. If the child is injured, parents owe it to their child to make a claim. Remember the money recovered belongs to their child.
