In this video, Sevenish Law answers the question: Can I file an insurance claim or sue a dog’s owner over a dog’s attack on my own pet? Yes. Dog owners are just as liable for attacks on your pet as they would be for attacks on you or your children. However, the law considers pets property, which means you can claim only the cost of veterinary bills and other expenses related to the attack. Unlike with an attack to a human family member, you may not be able to claim damages for your or your pet’s emotional and physical pain.
