Compensation typically comes from the insurance company of the dog owner or guardian. There are various different types of compensation that may be available.

Economic Damages

This could include past and future medical costs (including cosmetic treatment of scars), loss of income, loss of the ability to earn income, damaged possessions, psychological treatment costs, and other costs related to the dog bite.

Non-Economic Damages

This includes pain and suffering from the injury, mental anguish, scarring, and other traumas affecting your quality of life.


Statutory Strict Liability

The dog owner must pay damages for the dog bite victim's injury regardless of whether or not the dog appeared dangerous in the past. The term "statutory" specifies that this type of liability varies from state to state.

Punitive Damages

If the attacking dog's owner knew that their dog was violent but let them interact with people anyway, punitive damages may be collected. (This type of compensation varies from state to state.)

Dog Bite Victims May be Entitled to Compensation

Insurance Information Institute reports more than $850 million in dog bite claims were paid out in 2020.

The Dog Bite Problem in The U.S.

According to the Center for Disease Control, there are around 4.5 million dog bites per year in the United States. Roughly 1 in 5 of these requires medical attention and most dog bites are done by dogs who have not been spayed or neutered.

Regardless of why the dog might have bitten a person, if you were bitten by a dog without provoking it, you may be entitled to substantial compensation.
