Dog bites
While volunteering at a shelter,
i was bitten by a dog. This
required an emergency room
visit, stitches, followed by an
infection - surgery - 3 day
hospital stay. Even though i
signed a disclaimer, I am not
sure who pays the bills. ER
says the shelter, surgeon says
my medical coverage should
take care of everything.

Re: Dog bites
Your medical coverage should pay for it. If your pursue the shelter or the owner of the dog and are successful, then the insurer may have a lien to get paid back. If interested in pursuing an action for your injuries against the owner or shelter, you may contact me to discuss the same. I have several office locations, and there is no fee for the consultation.
Re: Dog bites
Dog bites are serious matters. The shelter should cover your medical bills before your own insurance company. Give our offices a call. We can handle the claims process.
