Dog bite wound

A dog bite injury can have unpleasant consequences. When you are bitten by a dog, the dog owner is liable. In most cases, the dog owner is insured for this. Whatever damage you suffer, all damages will have to be compensated by the dog owner. A dog bite can cause material damage in addition to physical damage.

A dog owner is liable under Art 6: 179 of the Civil Code for the damage caused by the dog. The dog owner himself does not have to have done anything wrong. If you are injured by his dog then he is always liable. This liability also applies in off-leash areas. As a dog owner, you remain responsible for your dog’s behaviour.

If you suffer personal injury due to a dog bite, you are almost always entitled to compensation.

Injuries sustained

An attack by a dog results in a bite wound and, after healing, scars. There is a risk of infection. Furthermore, you will be in (a lot of) pain. Severe dog bites can even cause permanent nerve damage. You may be anxious as a result of this experience. Victims are usually bitten in hand, arms or legs.

For treatment, visit your general practicioner or the emergency room first. Have your wounds properly checked. Some dog bites are a lot deeper than they initially appear.
