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.

F.B. - I want to thank Steven Blacklaws for everything he has done. He always made me feel validated for the hurt I was feeling. Something that no one in my work ever did. I will forever tell people of the amazing work you do and let them know how caring and compassionate you have been. I went through the worst time in my life and you always assured me you would do your best to make this right and you did. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, just thank you.
