True, but is there that much from the typical dog bite?

(And for the peanut gallery, "typical" doesn't equal "worst possible case scenario")

Truthfully? No but suing sends the message that your dog needs to be under control at all times.

$3K is usually the minimum.

My pay out from the homeowner's insurance was $15,000. After lawyer's cut and repayment of bills, etc, I ended up with $9,100 for pain and suffering. Not too shabby.

In the case of on the job injuries on private property, the homeowner's insurance repays comp for all that they spent.

I know, that's why I was surprised to see that she used a lawyer and that some of the settlement money was used for payment of bills. Unless I'm interpreting it wrong and the bills she's referring to aren't medical.

Yes, it was on the job and covered, however, when you win an award, you have to reimburse the medical costs.

The settlement is increased to cover medical costs.
