Pages On: Animal Attacks

Animals are one of nature’s greatest gifts, but their nature can be somewhat hazardous to humans. A poorly trained or abused dog is likely to have detrimental behaviour towards people, and can bite and seriously injure them. If an animal attacks you, and there is sufficient evidence for conviction, then the owner is liable, and you will be entitled to personal injury compensation.

Owners of killer dogs now face life sentences

Posted in: Animal AttacksWrongful & Accidental Death

After new proposals have been put forward in England and Wales, the owner of a dog, which has attacked and killed, will face a life sentence in prison. This newly suggested sentence will replace the max 2 year imprisonment that dangerous dog owners currently face. The government proposal includes numerous sentencing options for a fatal dog attack, ranging from five years to a life sentence. However, following a recent rise in dog attacks, the RSPCA argue that more should still be done. There have been sixteen dog attack deaths in the UK…

Dog, Pet and Animal Injuries

Posted in: Animal Attacks

Every year, around 200,000 people are bitten by dogs in the UK. If you have been injured by an animal, such as a dog, then you may be able to claim compensation. Recent guidelines have tightened up the rules in the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, meaning that more offenders will receive more severe sentences if they are held responsible for injuries caused by their pet. Courts are bound by law to consider compensation in all cases where injury, loss or damage has been caused by an animal, and our team…

I can’t rate this company highly enough. I was very sceptical at first as I had not had any dealings with this sort of thing but believe you me, they were very good to me right from the start. There is no pushing you to do anything you don’t want to do, they are always simply sympathetic with your plight. I didn’t think I’d stood a chance but they came through for me for which I am very grateful. Believe you me they are first class.
