Should I Speak to the Owner’s Insurance Company After a Dog Attack?

Answer:

Do not speak with the dog owner’s insurer before seeking legal advice because the company protects the owner’s interests, not yours.

After a dog attack, you may wonder whether you should speak with the dog owner’s insurance company. It is generally best not to do so before obtaining legal advice. The insurer represents the dog owner’s interests and works to resolve claims for as little as possible, even when the adjuster seems friendly.
