Types of Claim
Dog Bite Compensation
At Duncan Gibbins Solicitors we have acted for many victims of dog attacks helping them to secure the maximum amount of dog bite compensation.
Dog owners have a duty of care to the rest of society to control their pets and when he/she fails to exercise this responsibility, a negligence action or even criminal action may proceed.
Dog bites can cause not only physical injury and illness such as disfigurement and scarring, loss of limbs, septicaemia or blood poisoning, but also psychological traumas such as agoraphobia and cynophobia (fear of dogs) and in the worst of cases, result in death.
Having worked with many clients we understand the devastating effects this experience can have on an individual and their family and will treat all of our cases with the utmost sensitivity.
As part of our dedication to restoring confidence, we also offer special rehabilitation services to those clients who would like further support to help them deal with the impact that this may have had on their life.
We would advise anyone who wishes to pursue a dog bite claim to:
- Obtain the name of the owner
- Find out the breed of the dog
- Report the incident to the police
- Keep a record of any relevant details of the incident
- Take photographs of your injuries
