Re: dog bite,homeownersinsuranceresponsability

The homeowner's homeowners insurance policy probably has a med pay policy that will pay your medical bills at the very least. You may also have a negligence claim against the homeowner and guest. If you only want your medicals paid for, contact the homeowner's insurance company and see if they have med. pay coverage. YOu can do this yourself.

Good Luck
