756 law firms worldwide practising Animal & Dog Injury. Narrow down by city to find a firm near you.
Animal and dog injury lawyers handle claims after someone is bitten, knocked over or otherwise hurt by an animal. Dog bites are the most common case, but the work also covers horse riding accidents, collisions with livestock on roads and injuries from animals kept on rented property. Some clients are owners who face a claim or a dangerous dog order.
Rules are national, and they vary more than people expect. Several civil law countries apply strict liability to the keeper of a domestic animal, so the victim does not have to show negligence. Some common law systems still look at whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous, while others have statutes covering dog bites directly. Pet owner liability insurance is compulsory for dogs in parts of Europe, which often decides who actually pays.
Many animal injury claims are taken on a no win, no fee or contingency basis where that is allowed. In countries that ban contingency fees, legal expenses insurance or a fee agreement based on the value of the claim is common. Limitation periods for personal injury apply, often around two to three years, but children usually get more time. Reporting the bite to the police or local authority can also help prove the claim later.
Ask a prospective lawyer how they will identify the owner and the insurer, and whether medical photos of the wounds have been taken. Ask what the claim might cover beyond medical costs, such as scarring or psychological effects. Filter by country or city below to compare firms and contact them directly.
