Dog Bite
Accidents

If you or your child was bitten by a dog in Ontario, you may be entitled to compensation. The law holds dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their dog — even if the dog has never bitten anyone before.

We help you recover the medical care, treatment funding and financial support you need after an attack.

 

Injuries You May Be Dealing With

Dog bites often cause more than surface wounds. You may be experiencing:

• Deep cuts and permanent scarring

• Nerve damage

• Infection complications

• Facial injuries

• Psychological trauma or fear of animals

• Permanent disfigurement

Children are especially vulnerable and frequently suffer long-term emotional effects after an attack.

 

What You Should Do After a Dog Bite

Taking the right steps early can protect your health and strengthen your claim:

• Seek medical attention immediately

• Ask the owner about the dog’s vaccination history

• Obtain the owner’s name and contact information

• Take photographs of your injuries and the scene

• Keep all receipts and records related to treatment

Proper documentation can make a significant difference in your case.

 

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Depending on your injuries, you may recover compensation for:

• Medical treatment and rehabilitation

• Scar revision or cosmetic procedures

• Psychological therapy

• Lost income

• Pain and suffering

We work with healthcare professionals to fully document the impact of the attack and pursue fair compensation.
