Specialist animal injury claims
Claims involving animals can raise issues that do not arise in an ordinary accident case. Our personal injury team acts for people injured in dog attacks, incidents involving cattle and horses, farm accidents and other animal-related incidents.
We understand that these cases can involve serious physical injuries as well as psychological effects. Our role is to investigate how the incident happened, identify who may be legally responsible and build the evidence needed to pursue the compensation you are entitled to.
Dog bites and dog attacks
We have particular experience of claims arising from dog bites and attacks. Partner James McNally is nationally known for his work in this area and regularly acts for people who have been injured by dogs in a wide range of circumstances.
Cattle, horses and farm-related injuries
Our team also deals with injuries involving cattle, horses and other animals, including incidents on farms, on the road and in the course of work. Because animal-related accidents can involve specialist factual and legal issues, early advice can be particularly valuable.
Injuries to vets and veterinary professionals
We have acted for vets and veterinary nurses injured while treating or handling animals. We understand that an injury can affect not only day-to-day life but also a person’s ability to continue working with particular animals or within the veterinary profession.
Free case assessment and No Win, No Fee
We offer a free initial assessment of animal injury claims. Where a claim is suitable, we can usually act under a No Win, No Fee agreement, so you can understand the funding position before deciding whether to proceed.
