Average Dog Bite Settlement Amounts in Michigan

There is really no “average dog bite settlement amount”  because there numerous factors that go into determining the size of a settlement.  Settlements can range from $1,500.00 for a minor bite to $1,000,000.00 for the most serious injury or even death.  Factors that determine how much your dog bite settlement will be include:

  • Size and location of any scars, marks, or disfigurements
  • Type of medical treatment or plastic surgery needed
  • Need for future medical treatment or plastic surgery
  • Psychological and emotional damages caused by the dog attack
  • Permanency of any injuries from the dog bite attack
  • Amount of past medical bills and future medical bills
  • Amount of lost wages from time missed from work
  • Amount of the insurance policy limits for the dog owner
  • City or county where the incident occurred
