What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
This is regarding renters insurance. I am looking to take out a renters insurance policy that covers my possessions and 300k for liability. I own a Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed breed dog. On all her paper work (adoption papers, vet papers) it states "Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix". Upon calling the insurance company, one of their follow up questions was "is she mixed with the following breeds: pitbull, german shepard, doberman pincher".
Now, looking at her-- there is a potential for her to be mixed with one of the common pittbulls, but nowhere in her documentation does it state Pitt Bull, nor have I had a DNA test to prove her breed.
If I tell the insurance company that she is NOT mixed with pitt bull and later down the line she bites someone in my apartment and they state she is mixed with pitt bull based on her appearance, can my claim be denied because of this statement. Or can the opposing party order a DNA test as part of lawsuit, which may show that she is mixed with pittbull and my claim be denied?
Thank you
