If you have suffered a personal injury from a dog bite, you might be able to claim compensation. Often, this claim is taken against the owner of the dog (the house insurance of the owner often provides indemnity).
Very serious injuries can result from dog bites. The main law is the Control of Dogs Act 1986 and this provides that the owner of the dog is strictly liable. It is obviously important to identify the owner, take photographs and keep records and notes.
