- Dog BitesIt is probable that the average dog owner will never need to file an insurance liability coverage claim because his or her dog bit someone, but not having liability coverage for dog bites can place someones personal assets at risk. According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2012 the number of insurance dog bite claims was 16,459. The amount actually paid out by all insurance companies on those claims was $489.7 million, a figure that represents nearly 35 percent of all settlements made on homeowner liability claims. The average per claim cost for 2012 was $29,752 which represents a per claim increase of nearly 51 percent over the past 10 years. The escalation in settlement costs was primarily attributed to increases in health care costs of 62 percent during the same time frame.
