Re: dog bite
You may have medical payments coverage on your homeowners insurance policy or you may have an animal exclusion on your policy. Read it to find out or talk to your insurance agent. You say the dog didn't know him but was he a burglar or an invited guest?

You must notify your insurance company immediately or they will disclaim coverage. If you are sued for an amount in excess of your coverage retain a private attorney to monitor the matter to see you are being protected .
