The unpredictability of certain animals can pose risks to all those who come into contact with them.

Owners are required to take appropriate steps to ensure that animals that they are responsible for, pose as little risk to others as possible. If they have failed, however, and you have suffered as a result, specialist legal advice in the area of animal attacks can help you get the compensation you deserve. 

At Prettys, our animal attack lawyers have extensive experience dealing with claims relating to animal attacks or contact with animals. This could involve:

  • Being bitten by a dog or horse
  • Suffering injury as a result of being thrown off a horse
  • Being bitten or injured by a farm/zoo animal

If you have suffered injury or illness as a result of coming into contact with an animal, don’t hesitate to contact our dedicated team. Our legal know-how and hands-on experience put you in the best possible position to make a successful claim.
