How do I know if I have a valid dog bite compensation claim?
To determine if you have a valid dog bite compensation claim, a few factors need to be carefully considered. First, the severity of your injuries and how they’ve impacted your life are very importantl. Then, you must identify who is responsible for the incident – was the dog owner negligent, or was the injury caused by your own actions?

What types of dog bite injuries are considered valid?
Dog bite injuries don’t always have to break the skin to be eligible for compensation.
Several types of injuries or damages may qualify, including:
- Bruising: Injuries from being knocked over or jumped on by a dog.
- Torn or damaged personal items: Clothes or belongings damaged during the attack.
- Puncture wounds: Injuries where the dog’s bite has broken the skin.
- Scarring: Permanent marks left from bites that required medical treatment.
- Tissue or nerve damage: Serious injuries that can result from deep bites or being knocked over.
- Psychological trauma: Anxiety, PTSD, or phobias stemming from the attack.
Dog owners can be held accountable if they encouraged the dog to attack or failed to prevent it from doing so through negligence.
-
What types of claims can I pursue after a dog-related injury?
Dog bite compensation claims cover a wide range of physical and psychological injuries, as well as any financial losses related to the attack.
You may be eligible to claim for:
- Loss of past and future earnings
- Medical and hospital expenses
- Ongoing care and home services
- Pain and suffering compensation
- Payment for psychological damage, such as anxiety or PTSD
The amount of compensation depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your age, lost wages, and any expenses you’ve had to pay out-of-pocket. Kells will work with you to make sure that all relevant costs are included in your claim.
