Dealing with an injury is hard enough without navigating a legal process on top of it. We take that off your plate. We handle the legal work, gathering evidence, dealing with the relevant insurer, negotiating your settlement, while you focus on recovering.
We only take on claims we genuinely believe in. If we say you have a case, you can trust that's a considered view, not a sales pitch. This applies whether the injury happened to you or to your child, and we'll handle it with the sensitivity it deserves.
What kinds of dog bite claim do we handle?
Attacks in public places
Where a dog wasn't kept on a lead or under control in a public space.
Injuries on private property
Where you were an invited guest and the dog wasn't properly restrained.
Attacks involving children
Handled with particular care given the additional impact on a child and their family.
Repeat incidents
Where an owner or keeper knew a dog had a history of aggressive behaviour.
What if I was partly at fault?
Claims involving animals can raise questions about how the incident happened, for example, whether the dog was provoked. We'll look at the full picture with you, and if responsibility turns out to be shared, compensation may be adjusted proportionally rather than the claim being ruled out. It's always worth asking rather than assuming you don't have a claim.
What you could receive
Compensation for a dog bite claim typically covers two things: general damages, for the pain, suffering and impact on your life, including any scarring or psychological impact, and special damages, your actual financial losses such as medical costs, time off work, or travel to appointments.
We'll talk you through what's realistic for your specific situation once we've reviewed the details. We won't overpromise, and we won't quote a figure before we've properly understood your case.
