Personal injuries suffered by schoolboy in Dog Attack -Settlement offer approved by court!
A young boy who received severe injuries following an attack by a dog has received €17,500 euros in damages following the approval of a settlement offer in the Dublin Circuit court.
The 12-year-old schoolboy who was bitten on the arm by a neighbour’s dog, the court was told and his arm had been punctured in three places and he received 17 stitches.
The case highlights the importance of keeping dogs under ‘effective control’ as required by the law.
in cases where householders & dog owners do not have household insurance they can find themselves in the position of having to personally compensate victims in such cases.
