Habbas, founder of the Law Offices of Samer Habbas, says that a major insurer’s decision to end coverage for dog bites by pit bull, Rottweiler and wolf hybrid breeds in California can have a major impact on the victims of such dog attacks.

Samer Habbas, a Los Angeles dog bite lawyer who represents victims of dog bites, is convinced that a major insurer’s move to end coverage for dog bites by pit bull, Rottweiler and wolf hybrid breeds in the state of California will have a major impact on the rights of the victims of these types of dog attacks.
 
According to an article posted on nbclosangeles.com, Farmers Group, Inc. has notified its policyholders that bites by pit bulls, Rottweilers and wolf hybrids will no longer be covered by homeowners insurance in the State of California. This move is in response to the dramatic increase in recent years with bites from these types of breeds.
 
The article further reports that this move by Farmers, which will go into effect for California homeowners as their policies come up for renewal, is part of an effort by insurance companies nationwide to limit the increasing level of liability for dog bites.
 
“Although this move might prompt some homeowners to avoid adopting such aggressive and dangerous breeds, it will also have an impact on the victims of such dog attacks,” said Los Angeles dog bite lawyer Habbas. “If an owner is unable to pay for medical expenses after an attack and their insurance company does not cover the attack, the victim is left without any recourse and will have to pay for the expenses out of their own pocket.”
 
This nationwide move by the insurance companies can be very costly to the victims who have not done anything wrong and are not able to get compensation elsewhere.
 
“The move to limit insurance policies regarding dog bites is simply not fair to the innocent victim of the bite,” Habbas further commented.
