Specialist Animal Injury Lawyers
There are nearly 4,000 dog attacks a year in the UK and the number of dog injury compensation claims continues to rise.
If you've suffered an injury as a result of a dog attack then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
People making a successful dog bite compensation claim can expect to receive compensation for their injuries as well as recovering any financial losses and out of pocket expenses.
For you to claim the attack must have taken place within the last three years, or if you were under 18 anytime before your 21st birthday.
Dog attack laws can be complicated so to make sure your claim is dealt with properly you need solicitors who know exactly what they are doing and who are specialists in animal injury cases.
