5/17/2016

0 Comments

 
​Dog bites and dog-related injuries accounted for more than one-third of all homeowners insurance liability claim dollars paid out in 2015 – accounting for more than $570 million. Education efforts are underway during National Dog Bite Prevention Week to curb the incidence of dog bites, where the average claim now tops $37,000.

More than $570 million was paid out on these types of claims last year, according to the Insurance Information Institute and State Farm – which paid out a record $118 million on its own as a result of 3,100 dog-related injury claims.
​
  • Prevent The Bite reports that according to the Center for Disease Control, dog bites were the 11th leading cause of nonfatal injury to children ages 1-4, 9th for ages 5-9 and 10th for ages 10-14 from 2003-2012.
  • The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2013, insurers across the country paid over $483 million in dog bite claims.
  • The American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery reports that according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 26,935 reconstructive procedures were performed in 2013 to repair injuries caused by dog bites.
  • The U.S. Postal Service reports that 5,581 postal employees were attacked by dogs in 2013. Children, elderly, and postal carriers are the most frequent victims of dog bites.
  • The American Humane Association reports that 66% of bites among children occur to the head and neck.
