A new report from the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) revealed that dog bites represented more than one third of home insurance claims in 2010. Despite this high number of claims, the I.I.I. found that dog bites remained relatively consistent with those in the year prior.

Nearly $413 Million Paid in Liability Claims

According to the I.I.I., nearly $413 million was paid out in home insurance claims as a result of dog bites. While the total claims payouts were slightly higher than in 2009, the number of dog bites claims decreased to 15,770 in 2010 from 16,586 a year prior.

Some reasons for the rise in claims payouts despite the decrease in claims made were increases in medical costs, the size of settlements, judgments and jury awards to plaintiffs.
