You don’t expect to be injured in everyday scenarios such as walking in public or going to the park. Being attacked by a dog can be a traumatic experience both physically and mentally and it can have a big impact on your life.

If you have had to take time off or had to have extensive treatment or assistance for an injury that was not your fault, then you may be able to claim personal injury compensation to help get the support you need.
Claim Today has been a personal injury brand specialising in public accidents, including dog bite claims, for over 20 years and we have the experience and expertise to get you the personal injury compensation and support you need to look ahead to the future.
The Dangerous Dog Act (1991)
Owners of particular breeds of dog are required to meet strict safety requirements, particularly when out in public. This includes keeping the dog on a lead and muzzled when in public.
This applies to Pit Bull Terriers, Japanese Mastiffs, Argentinean Mastiffs, and Brazilian Mastiffs. However, if the dog that attacked you is not on this list, you may still be able to make a claim for compensation.
Do I have a claim?
If you were injured by an attack by someone else’s dog in the last three years, then you may have a claim.
It is important to have as many details about the accident to hand as possible. This includes when and where the incident took place, details of the owner (including whether or not they have home insurance), and of any witnesses if you have any (including details of any CCTV that may be available). Also if you have been to the police, details about that report would be helpful.
We offer free impartial advice on whether you can make a claim either by completing our online form, or calling our claim team on 0800 29 800 29. Alternatively, request a callback on this page and we will call you back.
