Subject: Attempting to exclude dog bites from homeowner coverage??
This alarming trend mentioned in report/article may be eye opener for dog owners, dog bite victims, health insurance companies and society at large.
One of the issues most threatening to dog owners is the denial of insurance coverage? If the insurance industry excludes dog bites from homeowner policies and won't sell dog owners a canine liability policy, then the homes of dog owners are at risk, along with their financial futures
Its better to buy personal liability umbrella as it is low cost and provides higher liability coverage rather than being uninsured because of the dog
Does anyone know how this works in other EMEA or other countries?
