Dog owners are typically required to pay for your medical bills if you were injured by their dog. They may also be responsible for your lost wages if you were unable to go to work after being bitten by a dog. The University of Minnesota estimated that dog bite claims account for $321.6 million in home owners’ insurance claims in 2003.
If the dog that bit you has bit someone before, or there are other circumstances that make the owner’s behavior even less responsible, the owner may also have to pay punitive damages or double or triple the amount of the actual damages that you suffered, depending on the jurisdiction in which the dog bite occurs. This extra penalty is imputed because the owner’s behavior was even more negligent if they knew their dog was dangerous and did not take adequate steps to protect you, as a visitor to their home.
