Insurance companies frequently deny dog bite claims to protect their bottom line. A denial does not mean your case is over. KP Law Group knows how to challenge these tactics and pursue full compensation.
Why Dog Bite Claims Get Denied
Many dog bite victims assume insurance will automatically pay.
That’s rarely how it works.
Common denial reasons include:
- Claiming the dog had no history of aggression
- Arguing the victim provoked the dog
- Disputing where the bite occurred
- Claiming the owner had no control over the dog
- Questioning the severity of the injury
Denial is often a strategy, not a final answer.
Georgia Law Does Not Favor Dog Owners Automatically
Georgia law allows dog bite victims to recover compensation when owners fail to control their animals or violate local leash laws.
KP Law Group examines:
- Leash law violations
- Prior complaints or bite incidents
- Animal control reports
- Witness statements
- Property conditions
The truth often contradicts the insurer’s version.
What To Do If Your Claim Is Denied
- Do not accept the denial as final
- Do not give additional statements without legal advice
- Preserve medical records and photos
- Avoid posting about the incident online
- Call KP Law Group immediately
Early legal action can reopen or strengthen your claim.
Compensation Still Available After a Denial
Denied claims may still recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Plastic or reconstructive surgery
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional trauma
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
Persistence backed by evidence changes outcomes.
