We were instructed to act on behalf of the client in connection with a dog biting claim which occurred in October 2022. The client was cycling through a park when he saw a woman on the path with a large group of dogs. He slowed down, announced himself when passing, and left plenty of room between himself and the woman. The woman was reading something on her handheld device. The dogs were very excited and she tried to gather them, but one ran after the client, biting his wheel and his lower leg.
We were instructed to act on behalf of the client on a No Win, No Fee basis and wrote a letter of claim to the Defendants setting out the circumstances and why we considered they were at fault for the incident. The Defendants admitted liability for the incident, and all that remained was to determine the level of compensation the client was likely to receive.
The client has suffered a scar to his lower leg. We sought to obtain medical evidence to determine the extent of his injuries. Upon receipt of medical evidence and up-to-date photographs, we suggested to the client to make an offer to the Defendant for £3600. He instructed us to make the offer, and the Defendants accepted it.
The client was happy with the outcome.
