Dog Bites Every year thousands of people are injured from dog bites. Sometimes dogs are trained to be aggressive, but even dogs that are usually tame and friendly can bite someone without explanation.
Dog bites can be painful and cause significant injury and disfigurement. If the victim is a child, it sometimes leads to an emotion injury or unreasonable fear of dogs. Wisconsin and Minnesota law protects those who are injured by someone’s dog. Dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs. A dog owners homeowner’s or renter’s insurance typically provides coverage for these injuries. In addition, if the dog has previously injured someone else, the dog owner may be liable for two times the full amount of damages.
Damages from dog bites can include the costs of reconstructive surgery and other health care expenses, permanent scarring, soft-tissue damage, loss of earnings and a reasonable amount for pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement.
