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.

I was very informed and updated at every step during the entire time, all questions answered and advice easy to understand. The time frame was extremely quick, considering the time and effort that was spent on my case. I could not be happier with the outcome, which would not have been possible without the work carried out by Jackie Raitt and her team at Allan McDougall Solicitors. I thank you all very much.
