In all states of which I am aware, owners are responsible for the pet's behavior in all situations, except those arising out of negligence/abuse or a crime (like a robbery). If you give someone permission to be on your property, you are responsible for any damages that person sustains during the interaction with your dog. In most places, anyone witnessing a dog bite is required to report it to Animal Control.
I woud look at your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy to see if warranties are available for dog bites. Many policies have specific coverage (or exclusions) for those matters.
