Let's face it, dog bites can be scary and knowing when you're liable is the first step to staying on the right side of the law. If you're a dog owner, some key points will help you figure out if you might be responsible for a bite:

Dogs have a history. If Fido has already picked up bad habits of biting or aggressive behavior, this could mean you're more likely to be held accountable. Each state has different "one-bite" rules or strict liability standards, and we're here to make those clear to you.

If you're the one on the receiving end of a dog bite, there are important steps to take. First, take care of yourself! Then, think about gathering evidence, such as photos and witness accounts. Knowing the right info can help build your case.

You'll want to report the incident too. Whether it's to animal control or the police, making a report can officially document what happened. It's a paper trail you might need later.

Many folks don't realize that homeowner's insurance often covers dog bites. So, whether you're the victim or the owner, understand that insurance could play a big part in covering costs like medical bills or legal fees.

Naturally, the coverage details can be tricky, but that's where we shine! We can help you navigate through the complexities of insurance claims and make sure that, either way, you're getting the support you need.

You might be wondering, "What's the difference?" Simply put, one-bite rules give Fido a free pass on the first offense, while strict liability means owners are responsible, period. And yes, of course, we can explain this in plain English, no legal jargon included.

Staying proactive is always better than being reactive, right? Especially when it comes to avoiding those nasty nips. We have a list of tips that can help dog owners stop biting before it even happens. Think of it as your little guide to peace and harmony.

  • Train your dog: Obedience training is a must.
