Who Pays for My Child’s Dog Bite Injuries?
In most cases, the dog owner’s homeowners’ insurance will cover your injuries and losses. If your damages exceed the policy’s limits, we can hold the dog owner personally liable for the difference.
What If the Insurance Policy Doesn’t Cover Dog Bites?
Some insurers won’t cover certain breeds of dogs or the dog owner may not have dog bite coverage on their policy. We can help you explore other means of compensation.
How Long Do I Have to Sue a Negligent Dog Owner in Michigan?
Michigan’s statute of limitations allows you three years from the date of the dog bite injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. Some exceptions exist for minor children but don’t delay in seeking legal representation. If you miss the deadline, you won’t be able to seek compensation through the courts.
