Support After A Frightening Attack
A dog bite or animal attack happens in seconds, yet the wounds, scarring & fear can linger for months.
We’ll assess whether you have a claim and which losses compensation could cover, from treatment & scar care to lost income.
Claims are usually made against the animal’s owner, or whoever was controlling it at the time, such as a dog walker, business or property owner.
We’ll identify the responsible party & their insurer, so your claim is directed correctly from the start.
In Queensland, a claim generally rests on whether the owner took reasonable care, for example by securing gates, using a leash or responding to earlier warning signs.
We’ll gather evidence, from council records to witness statements, about the animal & the attack.
Many people hold back because they know the owner. Compensation is often paid by the owner’s insurer, not from their savings.
We’ll handle the claim discreetly, so you can focus on healing rather than difficult conversations.
Animal attack claims in Queensland have strict deadlines, and owner details, witness contacts & photos are easiest to gather straight away.

How We Handle Your Claim
Tell us what happened & anything you know about the animal or its owner. A senior lawyer will review your case & contact you within 24 hours.
We identify who owned or controlled the animal & whether reasonable care was taken.
We lodge the required notices, then present supporting evidence while negotiating with the insurer.
We pursue a fair settlement that reflects your injuries & ongoing treatment. If one can’t be reached, we explain the available options & continue representing you where appropriate.
Even small bites can become infected, so see a doctor the same day where possible.
Your medical notes also document the injuries from day one. We’ll help obtain the medical records needed to support your claim.
Councils record dog attacks & may already hold complaints about the same animal.
An official report adds weight to your account. We’ll request any relevant records.
Take regular photos of your wounds, from the day of the attack through to any scarring.
A dated visual record helps us show the insurer the full impact over time.
