There is no legal requirement for a dog owner to have insurance in case of an accident.
In certain circumstances you might be entitled to compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) following a dog attack.
Dog Bite Accidents
Trinity Law Partnership
If you have been injured in a dog bite accident we may be able to help you claim compensation at no cost to you. Claims of this type are not always straightforward and much depends on the breed of the dog and also whether it can be shown the dog had a propensity to attack previously.
What should I do if I have been attacked?
If you have been injured in a dog bite accident obviously it is important to seek medical attention following such an incident but you should also try and get as much information about the dog itself. For example who owns the dog, its breed, details of any witnesses and whether the owner has any pet, house or other insurance which might indemnify him for any claim brought.
What do we need to prove?
We must be able to prove that the owner or keeper of the dog negligently exposed you to a risk of injury.
