Owners of animals and keepers of pets are under a duty to ensure that the animal in question does not cause harm or injury to anybody else especially if the animal in question has shown aggressive tendencies in the past towards humans. The main types of injury which result in a claim for compensation are

Dog bite claims – Compensation Claim

The rule of thumb is that a claim for compensation will tend to be successful if the dog in question has a history of aggressive behaviour toward human beings. This is further modified by the dangerous dogs Act 1981.

Rat bite claims – Compensation Claim

These claims often occur in rented premises where a landlord may have failed in his duty to ensure that the premises are free from vermin.

Infestation claims – Compensation Claim

These claims often occur in rented premises where a landlord may have failed in his duty to ensure that the premises are free from vermin.

In all of the cases above specialist legal advice is required from a Personal Injury Claims Solicitor.
