It is important
that you realise these claims are not easy to make and
that certain criteria needs to be in place before you
proceed with your case.
Generally speaking if a dog
has a history of being aggressive and is known to be
dangerous then any owner who fails to safeguard the
public may be held liable.
The hard part is
determining and proving that there is a record of
previous incidents or that the dog does have aggressive
tendencies. It is sometimes possible to prove that a
dog by its very nature or breed could and should warrant
extra care on the part of the owner and if an incident
occurs then liability may attach.
Each case must be
assessed on its own merits.
In order to have a
reasonable chance of success in making a claim you must:
1) Identify the owner and provide his or her address.
2) Consider reporting the attack to the police. You
may or may not be the first victim but most certainly
wont be the last.
3) Try to determine if the dog owner
has either Pet insurance or Home & Contents insurance.
Both types of insurance will generally cover legal
liability for the owner.
This means that there is a
compensator who has the means to pay your claim. Most
individuals do not.
