Dog Bite Attacks

Dogs outside day care attack woman

Earlier this week in Virginia, a woman was viciously attacked by two dogs outside of a day care center being operated out of the home of the owner of the dogs.  The two dogs inflicted such serious injuries that 170 staples were required to close wounds from the dog bites.

This lady has obviously suffered serious injuries as a result of this dog bite attack, and you have to wonder what the owner was thinking having these dogs near children and what the state was thinking allowing a day care center to  operate in a home with dogs like that nearby.

One other question that will prove to be important for the victim of this dog bite attack is how she will be compensated.  Normally, dogs bite attacks are covered by the homeowner's insurance policy for the dog owner, but since this occurred on a property that was at least mixed-use, perhaps the commercial insurance policy for the day care will apply.  This is a significant question for the victim because commercial policies tend to carry much higher limits and can provide significantly more compensation for the dog bite victim.

This is a question that an experienced persona injury lawyer would know to ask -- and get and answer to -- before trying to settle this woman's dog bite claim.
