We were instructed to act on behalf of a client in connection with a dog biting claim which occurred in September 2021. At the time of the incident, our client was working as a delivery courier and was making a delivery to the Defendants’ property. Prior to arriving, he had contacted the occupants to obtain their full details. Upon arriving at the property, the Defendants’ dog suddenly lunged at him, biting him in the stomach and causing him to fall to the ground.
We were instructed to act on his behalf on a No Win, No Fee basis. We composed a letter of claim to the Defendants, outlining the circumstances and explaining why we believed they were responsible for the incident. The Defendants escalated the matter to their insurance company, which initially did not respond to our correspondence. Through persistent effort and numerous follow-ups, we managed to elicit a response from the Defendants’ insurers, who conceded liability pending further assessment of causation.
We obtained medical evidence from a Plastic Surgeon to support our client’s claim, submitting it to the Defendants. The Defendants then proceeded to make an offer to settle our client’s claim in the sum of £4200.00. Seeking professional guidance, we consulted a Barrister to evaluate the appropriateness of this settlement offer. The Barrister confirmed the offer was reasonable. Our client was happy with the outcome and accepted the offer.
