Speaking to Insurance Companies After a Dog Bite

Answer:

We are often asked whether a person who has been injured by a dog bite should give a recorded statement to the insurance company of the person who owned the dog. We strongly recommend that you do not do this. The insurance company will use a trained claims examiner who will ask you questions in a way that leads to vague answers and misleading statements, which will later be used against you. Don’t give them the opportunity to do this. You don’t have any obligation to give a recorded statement, and there’s nothing to be gained from doing so.
