Animals Dog Bite

Accidents involving animals such as DOG/ HORSES/ COW often involve them escaping or behaving aggressively such as kicking, biting or charging. Claims can be based on negligence of the owner, if this animal has attacked someone and the owner has failed to take reasonable precautions under the Animals Act 1971.

These claims require careful analysis of the law including whether the animal belongs to a dangerous species and if not whether the particular animal was known to have dangerous characteristics.

With our considerable experience in accidents involving animals, we know what to look for and will identify at an early stage:

• the right animal (if more than one was involved)
• the legal owner and whether they are insured or otherwise worth suing.
• the precise arrangements made for looking after the animal.
• whether there are records of any previous attacks by the animal involved.
