Usually the owner’s policy; in some cases landlords may share responsibility.
Should I report the bite to authorities?
Yes—an official report helps document the incident and public health concerns.
What if I was bitten while working?
You may also have a workers’ compensation claim in addition to a liability claim.
Do I need a lawyer if the owner offered to pay?
