If a dog bites someone and the person sues you in court over the dog bite then your insurance can be hit hard.
The average payout for a dog bite lawsuit is around $30,000.00 but depends on the severity of the injuries to the person.
If the person was just bitten a little bit and only suffered minor injuries then the lawsuit for the dog bite might only pay out $3,000.00 to $15,000.00
But if the person gets severely injured or even killed as a result of the dog bite or dog attack then it could pay out $100,000.00 or more.
But it's rare for a dog bite lawsuit to pay out more than $30,000.00
That dog you have can really cost you and your insurance should it bite someone so you must make sure you keep control of the dog at all times and keep it tied up or leashed or in a good fence.
