It sounds like you're a great friend and neighbor! Our neighbor never gave us their insurance information.  Our situation is a different because in addition to physical scars, our daughter has emotional scars from this dog bite that will take a long time to recover from.  I did some research on the dog bite law.  Sometimes insurance companies will cancel the homeowners policy if there is a dog bite on the property.  If they don't cancel it, the insurance premium will increase by a lot.  I think this is why they didn't try to go through the insurance company and thought we would accept this small check.  We believed them when they said they would take care of everything.  I guess we're just too nice!
