Dog Bite Claim Solicitors

The Dangerous Dogs Act became law in UK in 1991 following a number of life changing injuries and deaths caused by dog bites;

The Dangerous Dogs Act applies to any dog that is dangerously out of control in public, in private or in a home;
If a dog injures someone then this is dangerously out of control and you will be entitled to compensation from the dog owner or any pet insurance;

What To Do If You Are Bitten By a Dog

First and foremost you should report the dog attack incident to the Police and to the Dog Warden as other people or dogs may have also been attacked by the same dog – you can locate the dog warden’s number on your local council website;
If you have been attacked by a dog as a result of your job i.e. delivery driver or courier then immediately report the incident to your employer;
If you have been bitten by a dog it is likely that you will have suffered from physical and potentially even psychological injuries – make sure you get medical attention immediately to check your wounds and check if you need a tetanus booster or antibiotics;

Making a Claim Following a Dog Bite Attack

If you were attacked or bitten by a dog that you believe was dangerously out of control, it can help your claim if you can get any of the following information, but make sure that you don’t put yourself in any potential danger when getting this information:

1. The name of the dog breed;

2. Who owns the dog and their name;

3. The address of the dog owner;

4. Details from the Dog Warden or Police about whether the dog has been aggressive before;

5. Photographs of the dog, owner and your injuries;

Every dog bite claim is different so it is best to contact our dog bite specialists that deal with animal attack claims to discuss whether you may have a claim for compensation.
