Injuries caused by animal attacks can be serious and very traumatic.  The most common type of animal attack in the UK is a dog bite, but any type of animal attack can be devastating.  Victims can suffer psychological damage as well as scarring and even sprains and fractures.  Farnworth Rose Solicitors can help you claim the compensation you deserve.

Responsibilities of animal owners

Animal owners and keepers have a responsibility to make sure their animals do not cause an injury.  Dogs which come under the Dangerous Dogs Act, for example should be muzzled when out in public.  Guard dogs must have an experienced handler in charge of them, and there must be clear warning sign to advise the public the dogs are close by.

Compensation for animal attacks

Claiming compensation for animal attacks is not always as straightforward as it might be, and often claims for attacks by dogs are only approved if the animal has shown signs of aggression before.  Other supposedly domesticated animals which often attack include ferrets, birds and cats, and increasingly, reptiles.   Most animal attacks take place on children.
