Dog Bite Statistics

There are several Dog Bite Statistics that dog owners should be aware about and which should be discussed with an insurance agent if you are looking into getting insurance for your dog in case it were to bite someone. You will need to make sure you and your family have enough coverage in case your dog were to bite or injure someone. There are certain factors that need to be considered when looking into the amount of coverage that you get which consist of that amount that will protect you and your belongings if your dog were to bite another person. In the case of bigger dogs the amount is usually limited to around $300,000 as well as for any dogs that are listed as being potentially more prone to biting. There are different lists of dogs that have bitten and killed people and this is something you may want to look into as well. Look into the Dog Bite Statistics as this will give you more information on the subject. If the dog you have is not in the Dog Bite Statistics, you can probably get a lower amount of insurance, however it is not recommended to get under $100,000 since a smaller amount will not be sufficient in the case of a dog that has for example, bitten a child on the face and caused disfigurement. If your dog has bitten someone but is not ordered to be put down, you will most likely be told to get insurance in order to keep your dog in the first place since your dog will then be considered vicious or dangerous. In some cities it is the law to keep proof of insurance when you want to keep certain breeds.
