Animal Attack Compensation Claims in Manchester

Animal attacks, such as bites from dogs, are often the result of the owner’s negligence. If you are injured because of an animal attack, and it was in no way your fault, then you can make a claim for compensation, usually against the negligent owner (or their insurance company). An example of an owner’s negligence would be failure to muzzle a dog, particularly if they are aware that the dog has a history of attacking or biting people or if the dog is covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

Dog Bite and Animal Attack Claims

An animal attack can cause severe bodily damage to the arms or legs. A victim can make a compensation claim regardless of what type of injury they have suffered, be it physical or psychological. The most common or well reported cases are of physical harm caused by bites from dogs like Rottweilers or pit bulls. On top of compensation for the personal injury, a victim could also claim back any expenses they have had to incur, such as medical bills, travel expenses and the like. The only caveat is that the losses you are claiming must have flowed directly from the injury caused by the dog, pet or other animal.
