The insurance coverage for dog bite injuries typically is part of a homeowner's personal liability policy. Dog bite cases in some ways are similar to premises liability cases, in which a property owner has an obligation to meet reasonable standards of maintaining safe conditions.

To meet reasonable standards of maintaining safe conditions, property owners with dogs may need to have:

  • Appropriate fencing of yard or kennel
  • Appropriate restraint of dog in public
  • Appropriate supervision of visitors to property

Most victims of dog bites know the owner and the animal, which may make the victim feel uncomfortable in making a dog bite claim. It is important to realize that the insurance coverage for dog bites is typically the only source of any dog bite compensation the victim receives. The money does not come out of the pocket of the owner.
