I was injured by a friends dog while attending a picnic. Their homeowners insurance is paying my hospital and dentists bills. Can I also recover some funds for punitive damages without suing?
No, not without suing. "Punitive" awards are for 'Punishment", basically meaning that you assert your friend inflicted your injuries intentionally or through wanton disregard, with malice and intent. Like they did it all on purpose maybe sicking their vicious dog on you. It would not be an accident and could elevate the matter to a criminal assault.

This is because home insurance excludes all coverage and damages from criminal acts of the insured.
