“Dog – Man’s Best Friend”
As the saying goes “a dog is a man’s best friend,” and usually it’s right. However, you can’t rely on an age-old saying to always remain truthful. Some dogs can prove to be extremely dangerous to people and property.
Each day, about 1,000 U.S. citizens have to receive emergency treatment for a dog bite injury. One third of homeowner’s insurance liability claims come from dog bites and every year the insurance industry pays out $1 billion in dog bite claims. This is a real problem that can result in very real consequences for victim and owner.

Dog Bite Injury Claims In Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, dog bite statutes make dog owners strictly liable for the full amount of damages resulting from a dog’s attack on a person, domestic animal, or property. The statutes also allow for double damages if the owner knew of or was notified of previous attacks that resulted in damage or injury.
