Attacked by a dog?
We'll handle your claim.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a dog bite. Claim on a No Win, No Fee1 basis.
Injuries you can claim for
Dog bites cause far more than surface wounds. The physical and psychological damage can last months or years. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled accidents in public places like yours before.
Puncture wounds & lacerations
Deep bite wounds that damage tissue and muscle. Dog teeth can cause severe tearing that requires stitches, surgery, and extended treatment.
Scarring & disfigurement
Permanent scars from dog attacks, especially on the face and hands. Disfigurement affects confidence, work prospects, and daily life.
Nerve & tendon damage
Deep bites can sever nerves and tendons, causing loss of feeling or movement. Hand and arm injuries often require specialist reconstructive surgery.
Psychological trauma
PTSD, anxiety, and cynophobia (fear of dogs) are common after attacks. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation.
Important information

With No Win No Fee, you do not pay your solicitor’s legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

0333 006 8282Dog bite claims FAQ
Questions about making a dog bite claim? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If someone else's dog attacked you, because the owner failed to control their pet, didn't use a lead or muzzle, or let a dangerous dog roam freely, you absolutely deserve compensation. Dog bites leave physical wounds, risk of infection, and lasting psychological trauma.
We see victims struggling with scarring, phobias, and mounting medical bills. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, you absolutely can claim dog attack compensation if someone else's dog injured you. The owner is responsible for controlling their pet, and if they failed to do so, you deserve compensation for your injuries and trauma.
Your dog bite claim amount depends on your specific injuries, medical costs, time off work, and psychological impact. We fight for every penny you deserve, covering everything from scarring to phobia therapy. Call us on 0333 006 8282 for an assessment of what your case is worth.
Get medical attention straight away, dog bites get infected easily and you need evidence for your claim. Get the dog owner's name and address while everything's fresh, then report the attack to police. Take photos of your injuries as soon as possible.
Yes, the owner's claim that it's a first offence doesn't remove their responsibility. Under UK law, dog owners have a duty to control their animals at all times. A first-time bite doesn't excuse negligence, you still deserve compensation.
You have three years from the date of the dog attack to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately.
Dog attacks are more common than many people realise. NHS data shows around 8,000 hospital admissions for dog bites each year in England alone, with thousands more treated in A&E and by GPs.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been injured in a dog attack that wasn't your fault.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a dog bite.
Don't let a negligent dog owner cost you thousands. We fight for every penny you're owed, and there are no upfront costs*.
