Dog bites happen far more regularly than people think. While our canine friends are supposed to be our best buddies, they are still animals and often snap or take quick bites to communicate that someone or some thing needs to get away from them quickly. Unfortunately, even a quick snap can cause serious damage to a person unlucky enough to be bit. Further, Nevada state law allows a victim to sue a dog owner for negligence, allowing damages for pain and suffering. Those claims can get very expensive very quickly for a dog owner who is unprepared for the related risk.
The All Nevada Insurance Blog can guide you on how to deal with dog bite risk. The danger is real, and every dog owner should be aware of what state law requires in the case of a dog bite. Owners can avoid this problem by being prepared and taking precautions ahead of time with their canine friends to avoid accidents and related legal costs.
