Liability concerns of dog owners and their insurers

Article Abstract:

The ownership of dogs, particularly those considered as vicious, is becoming a principal cause of liability losses. In this regard, a survey was conducted to have a better insight of current insurer treatment of the issue dealing with the occurrence of injuries cause by dog bites. The results of the survey showed that 70% of surveyed insurance firms opted not to provide coverage upon knowledge of a dog exposure problem at the time of application. Others provided property coverage only while some chose to inspect the premises to examine the exposure.
