WHO WILL PAY FOR MY BILLS AND DAMAGES?

In many cases, the dog's owner will have an insurance policy (or multiple polices) that may protect them for damages caused by their dogs. There are 2 major types of policies that dog owners purchase: (1) Homeowners/Renters Insurance and (2) Animal Insurance.

Homeowner's/Renter's Insurance
If the dog owner has purchased a homeowner's or a renter's insurance policy, that policy will protect the dog owner's liability for your dog bite if the bite occurs on the owner's insured property or premises or while the dog is under its owner's control.

Animal Insurance
Some dog owners also have special insurance that helps protect them for injuries and damages caused by their dogs (and other animals). This is particularly true when the dog owner has had prior incidents involving a particular pet.

In order to find out whether your dog bite injury may be compensated by a dog owner's insurance company, it is important to find out the name, address and phone number of the dog's owner. Sometimes, the dog owner is willing to give you his/her insurance company's contact information (don't count on this) and if so, please have it ready for us when you call. If it turns out that the dog owner does not have insurance, you may still have legal rights against the owner to recover your damages.

The best way for you to find out who will compensate you for your injury is to call the Law Firm of David A. Canales, PLLC in San Antonio, Texas. We are tough and aggressive, and we will fight for you. Call us, email us or stop by at:
