Does Utah Law Allow Compensation for a Dog Bite?
Utah law allows a dog bite victim to be compensated for the negligence of the owner or “keeper” of the dog. Utah also has a special statute making dog owners strictly liable for injuries from their dog’s bites. In many cases, an attorney with dog bite experience can help you obtain compensation from a homeowners or renters insurance policy if you have been the victim of a dog bite.
Compensation for a dog bite claim may include:
- Medical expenses, including ongoing care
- Emotional trauma
- Damage to personal property
- Lost earnings, including loss of future earnings
