A dog bite can have profound consequences, both physically and mentally. As a victim of a dog bite, you are often entitled to compensation. In this article, we explain how the legislation around personal injury by a dog bite works and how you can submit a successful damage claim.

It is essential to take the right steps immediately after a dog bite to protect your rights, seeking medical help immediately to prevent infections, collect evidence, make a police report and engage a personal injury lawyer. In the Netherlands, the owner of a dog is almost always liable for the damage caused by the dog, even if the owner himself is not directly at fault for the incident. You can claim for various kinds of damages, such as medical costs, loss of income, pain and suffering, and other costs. We at Arslan & Arslan Lawyers are known for our personal approach and excellent results in personal injury cases. Contact us today if you were bitten by a dog and want to know your rights.
