I was bitten by a dog at a rental unit where I was treating an invasion of ants. The landlord let me in without the tenant's permission. I ended up going to the hospital for treatment. Can I sue?
In dog bite cases usually, the homeowners insurance will cover the liability for damages to the victim. Where a renter is involved, there may not be coverage for that renter. However, the landlord let you in and surely the building is covered for injuries caused by the negligence of the owner. However, we recommend getting into touch with an attorney from your state to determine what your rights are regarding compensation for your injuries.
