Dog bite injuries
Being bitten by a dog is not only a painful but also can be a frightening experience. If you have been injured by a dog bite, then there is a strong chance you will be entitled to claim compensation.
Under the law, if the dog belongs to a species known to have a tendency to injure, then the owner of the dog is liable.
For those claims, the key facts to establish are:
- The identity of the keeper of the dog
- Contact details for the keeper
- The breed of the dog
- We will in early course identify whether the keeper of the dog has insurance to cover a claim such as yours. Most dog owners do.
With certain breeds of dogs, occasionally, it can be helpful to know whether there has been a previous pattern or history of aggressive or attacking behaviour from the particular dog.
If you are interested in making a compensation claim for a dog bite injury, please get in touch with us today for a confidential discussion.

What our clients say
- The service I received was outstanding throughout. Stephen Irvine was very helpful, understanding, and courteous. He explained the whole process very well and was very swift in replying to any queries, or when informing me of updates. The outcome was very good, and the compensation received was higher than we initially thought, thanks to Stephen's guidance and hard work. I'm very appreciative.
G.H. - Great service from the team. Gordon Milligan's answers to questions were perfect, and he and Alison Bosshardt made the process very easy.
M.D. - The service provided was great. Fiona Fraser and Stephen Irvine were both friendly and professional, making it very easy to talk to them and ask questions. Thank you for all your help throughout the whole case.
E.G. - Alex Robertson and Julie Harris were fantastic. I felt informed and supported at every step in the process.
