Dog Bite Case Study

Miss T was attacked and bitten by a neighbour's dog. She was badly bitten and was left with permanent scarring on her forearm and some initial psychological difficulties, but the neighbour strongly denied responsibility. Although not categorised as a "dangerous dog" in law, we were able to prove that the neighbour was liable because the dog had a history of biting people and it was not controlled properly. Miss T received £5,500 in compensation.
