Whether someone knows the dog that injured them typically does not impact the value of the case. The value is based on the seriousness of the injuries. If it is a strange dog, it may be more obvious that an attack was likely. However, the owner of a dog is ultimately responsible if the animal bites an individual. Whether the dog is known or strange does not impact the amount of compensation someone is entitled to receive after being bitten. Whenever someone sustains a dog bite, it is important that they understand that there will be insurance to compensate them.
