Over $108 million was paid out last year, and among the states with the highest number of paid claims, Georgia came in 9th, with $3.3 million paid on 121 claims.

State Farm’s payout was a mere 22% of the total amount of paid dog bite claims in 2012, which, according to the Insurance Information Institute, came to a whopping $489 million. On average, over 4.7 million Americans suffer from wounds inflicted by dogs each year, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
