  • California Tops Dog Bite Claims

  • « Back to Previous Page

Take a minute to chew on this: State Farm reportedly paid more than $90 million as a result of the nearly 3,500 dog-bite claims filed in 2010.

California tops the list with 369 claims and $11.3 million in claims paid, followed by Illinois with 317 claims and $9.7 million paid out, and Ohio third with 215 claims and $5.7 million in claim payments.

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2009, insurers across the country paid more than $412 million in dog-bite claims. Ouch.

If you or someone you love has been suffered a dog-bite injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Fill out the form on this page or call Sokolove Law today at 877-490-6522 for a free case evaluation.
