Punitive Damages
If you have a strong case, you might be able to collect punitive damages in addition to the ordinary award of compensatory damages. You might be eligible for punitive damages, for example, if the owner “sicced” his dog on you in a public place.
Insurance Coverage
Most homeowner’s insurance and renter’s insurance policies cover dog bite claims. This is important -- since the average dog bite claim payout is around $32,000, some dog owners would lack the resources to pay without insurance coverage. About one-third of all homeowner’s insurance claims involve dog bites.
