Animal claims

Animal owners are responsible for ensuring their animals do not cause injury to members of the public.

For example, an owner should ensure their animal does not stray onto the road, as many serious accidents are caused like this.

Dog bites are a common cause of injury. To claim in a case involving any kind of animal attack it is necessary to show that the animal had a pattern of dangerous behaviour, and the owner failed to take care to avoid an incident.

Our team can advise you in these circumstances. We carry out a thorough investigation, contacting neighbours and obtaining statements which can describe the past behaviour of the animal.

We also identify any insurance policy relating to the animal, and will obtain a medical report detailing your injuries, prepare photographs showing any permanent scarring and prepare a list of your personal losses, so we can justify a claim for compensation.
