Just as with the dog owner, you should be cautious about communicating with their insurance company. Insurance companies are in business to make money, which means that they will find any reason to deny your claim, or at the least, offer as little as possible. Insurance companies are notorious for looking for any reason to deny a claim or assign at least partial blame to the victim to minimize the amount of the claim.
For this reason alone, retain an experienced attorney to handle your Bronx dog bite case. If you’ve retained an attorney, refer the dog owner’s insurance company to them. You can give the insurance company your name, contact information, and your attorney’s contact information.
