Your dog may be your best buddy, but he can also become a financial liability if he bites someone. Dog bite litigation is on the rise, and coupled with increased medical costs, is causing a rise in the cost of dog bite liability claims.
Dog bites accounted for more than one-third of all homeowner insurance liability claims paid out in 2009, costing $412 million and up 6.4 percent from 2008, according to the Insurance Information Institute. ]]></description>
