My neighbors have a pit bull. Should they have dangerous dog insurance?

If your neighbors have a pit bull, then YES, they should definitely have dog insurance in case of a dog attack. A dog owner can get coverage for their pet included with their homeowners or renter’s insurance policy. Every dog owner should have a policy that: 

  • Provides coverage for injuries inflicted by dogs or animals in general; and
  • Has a limit of at least $100,000 for personal liability.

This coverage will allow the dog owner’s insurer to compensate the victims of a dog attack.Presently, however, some insurers are attempting to sell homeowners insurance policies that exclude injuries inflicted by dogs. Some companies are even refusing to sell homeowner’s insurance to owners of breeds such as pit bulls, Chow Chows, and Doberman Pinschers, which have a well-known history of aggression.If you are a dog owner, and an insurer does not cover canine-related injuries, then you should not purchase homeowners insurance from that insurance company. To find out if your insurer does cover canine-related injuries, you can simply make a call to a company representative.If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog attack, you can get the professional help of a Chicago dog bite lawyer.
