Rising dog bite and dog injury claims
The pandemic led to a surge in dog ownership, but along with the increase in furry companions, there has been a noticeable rise in dog bite and dog injury claims. As more people welcome dogs into their homes, the number of incidents involving dogs injuring people has also gone up.
If you’ve suffered an injury due to a dog’s actions, it’s important to know that you have legal rights, and you may be entitled to compensation.
What can I claim compensation for?
Physical and Psychological Injuries
You may be entitled to claim for both physical harm and emotional distress caused by a dog bite. This falls under General Damages and includes compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Financial Losses
You can also recover Special Damages for any out-of-pocket expenses linked to the incident, such as:
- Lost earnings
- Costs of care and assistance from others
- Medication and prescription fees
- Travel costs
- Damage to clothing or belongings
- Medical treatment expenses
- Vet bills if your pet was injured
Make sure to keep all receipts and documentation to support your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If you were bitten or attacked by a dog and it wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Dog owners have a legal responsibility to control their pets and prevent harm to others.
In most cases, the dog’s owner is held responsible. If the dog was out of control in a public place or had a known history of aggression, you may be able to make a personal injury claim against the owner or their insurer.
Compensation depends on how serious the injury is. Minor dog bites may result in payouts of £1,000–£3,000, while more serious cases involving scarring, nerve damage, or psychological trauma can reach £10,000–£25,000 or more. Claims may also cover lost income, treatment costs, and emotional distress.
Seek medical attention immediately, report the incident to the police or local council, and try to get the dog owner’s details. Take photos of your injuries and keep a record of any treatment or expenses related to the bite.
