Dog Bite Claims

Texas In Top 5 Nationwide for Dog Bite Claims


Texas is among the top five states for dog bite claims according to a survey by State Farm Insurance. In fact, the company says they paid 4 million dollars in dog bite claims in the state last year alone. State Farm says homeowners insurance can help protect you in damages if your pet bites or attacks another person on your property including if the animal escapes and strikes while away from your home. The City of San Angelo Animal Shelter oversees cases that occur within city limits, adding that once a report is made the animal must be quarantined and monitored for rabies and disease. For stray dog pick ups or to report a dog bite incident within city limits call the City of San Angelo Animal Shelter . If the case occurs outside of the city limits call the County Sheriffs Office.
