Then what should I do if I bump into a dog? Do I need compensation, and how? Today, we will make a summary of related issues.
Is it okay to leave without calling the police after hitting the dog?
No, it may be a hit-and-run!
A traffic accident refers to the event of personal injury or property damage caused by a fault or accident of a vehicle on the road.
If it’s a stray dog, it’s not a person’s personal property; it’s not a traffic accident. But if it is a pet dog, it belongs to other people’s personal property, a traffic accident.
So after hitting the dog, stop, call the police, and report to the insurance company!
If it is a stray dog, you also buy car damage insurance, which can allow the insurance company to compensate for the loss of the vehicle. If you have to treat stray dogs, keep the list of drug bills and have the opportunity to receive corresponding compensation.
Do I have to pay if my dog hits the dog?
Not necessarily.
After the dog owner comes, he must ask for a dog certificate. If there is no certificate, it cannot be proved that it is his legal property. If you do not have a dog certificate, you will generally violate the local dog management methods and will not be protected accordingly.
A breed certificate and a price certificate should also be presented if it is a valuable dog breed.
How to pay is divided into several situations.
Situation 1, the dog was on a leash, led by the owner, and was hit while walking normally.
As long as the dog walker does not intentionally touch the porcelain, the driver is generally held to be fully responsible because the dog owner has fulfilled his duty to protect the pet.
In case 2, the dog is not on a leash, and the vehicle usually runs.
Walking a dog without a leash is a violation of dog management regulations. In an accident, the dog owner is fully responsible, and the car owner does not need to bear the responsibility.
Case 3: The dog is not on a leash, and the car is driving illegally.
In this way, both parties are at fault, and generally, the same responsibility is imposed, and both parties are required to mediate. If the mediation fails, the prosecution must be taken.
How to price a dog?
The dog certificate is essential, followed by the breed identification or blood breed certificate.
The dog certificate is the legal identification of the dog. If the dog owner cannot show it, the owner has the right to refuse compensation.
Because of the wide variety of livestock and pets with different prices, it is difficult to grasp the compensation standard in the claim settlement. Pet owners are more emotionally dependent on pets, which is difficult to measure with money.
Therefore, many pet owners get emotional after their pets are killed and even ask for sky-high prices, making negotiating difficult.
To avoid this situation, these principles should be kept in mind when assessing damages to livestock and pets:
With evidence and evidence, provide relevant documents that can prove the pet’s identity and negotiate compensation. A third-party department will conduct an appraisal and evaluation if a compensation agreement cannot be reached.
Tell me, what should I do if I encounter a dog that jumped out while driving?
There are more stray dogs nowadays; they are not only helpless but also increase the insecurity factor of the road.
Some drivers instinctively brake or even steer when encountering stray dogs on the highway. This is very dangerous behavior and can easily lead to losing control of the vehicle.
You can only bite the bullet and hit it if you can’t avoid it.
