Animal-related injuries can happen suddenly and leave lasting damage. Whether you were bitten by a dog, knocked over by a large animal, or injured due to poor supervision or fencing, the consequences can be serious—physically, emotionally, and financially. These accidents often result in painful wounds, permanent scarring, and high medical costs.
If you’ve been injured by someone else’s animal, you may be entitled to compensation. In the Netherlands, owners are generally liable for the harm their animals cause—even if the incident seems like a one-off or the animal “never acted like that before.”
At Injury Lawyer, we have years of experience helping victims of animal-related injuries. Our personal injury specialists understand the urgency of these cases and work hard to get you the compensation you deserve—completely free of charge. Whether it’s a dog bite or another type of animal-related accident, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Even if some time has passed since the incident, there are still important steps you can take to protect your claim:
Animal bites and scratches can lead to infections, nerve damage, or even long-term complications. Prompt medical attention is vital—not just for your health, but also to document the extent of the injury.
Take clear photos of the wounds, any bruising, torn clothing, or damage to personal belongings. If possible, also take photos of the animal and the location where the incident occurred.
Try to collect the name and contact information of the owner, as well as any details about the animal (such as breed or history of aggression). If the owner is unknown, note down where the incident happened and ask around for witnesses.
If the injury is serious, report it to the police or local authorities (such as animal control). A formal report can help support your claim and ensure proper follow-up action is taken.
Medical costs, therapy, lost wages, travel expenses, and any other injury-related costs should all be saved. These will help determine the full amount of your compensation.
