Dog Attack Compensation Claims

“Mans best friend” that’s what we call them. Dogs can be very playful and jolly but also deadly. Deadly for some cases such as pitbul attacks that are very common in United Kingdom. Take note that not all dogs are friendly. Some are trained while some are not.

In most cases the children that are attacked by a dog bite may lead to a severe injury and for some children death. Which is why there is a rigid law for dog breeds.

After so many cases of personal injury like the above mentioned, the Dangerous Dog Act of 1991 was made formally to handle theses types of situations. This law forbids the possession of certain types of dog breeds:

• Pitbull Terrier
• Japanese Tosa
• Dogo Argentino
• Fila Brasileiro

Cross breeds of these types of dogs are not exempted to the law. As DEFRA ( Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ) said that these dogs are kind and are not classified by type but through type, that means that if a dog possesses the physical features of the 4 main types of dogs then the dog will be considered banned.
