According to the Insurance Information Institute (III) The insurance information institute (III) states that claims resulting from dog bites are the most expensive health-related expense claim. This means that the insurance policy of the victim will not cover all costs for treatment or lost wages, for instance. Therefore, they could be able to recover additional funds in addition to their regular amount of compensation.
Dogs know when they aren't! It is important to seek compensation for medical expenses and lost wages or any damage you've endured that you would not have had to suffer if the dog wasn't biting you.
Statistics indicate that a person gets bitten within every seventy seconds across the United States. If you have an animal, insurance may safeguard you from having to cover damages if your dog bites an individual. The insurance coverage for the dog's owner can affect the amount of the compensation you are awarded.
Alongside the tangible costs that you will face right after the bite from your dog You may also be required to endure a lot of discomfort and pain during the process of healing. A dog bite could result in continual traumas, including physical and mental limitations, along with the emotional trauma commonly caused by an attack from vicious dogs. Although these do not come with any price however, they do have the potential to cause you to be in pain, and you're entitled to pursue compensation for these injuries.
Damages for punitive purposes are not permitted if victims are suing owners in accordance with the states "strict liability" dog bite statute, as these laws hold owners of dogs liable for bites, regardless of their history or their negligence. (See Beckett v. Warren, 921 N.E.2d 624 (Ohio 2010).)

The younger the person when dogs bite them, the more severe their injuries will be. This is due to the fact that children's bones muscles, tissues, and bones have a greater degree of fragility than those of an adult.
