According to a report from Sky News the 10-year-old girl was playing on her bike outside her Grandma’s house when the attack took place. Rhianna who suffered from a fractured jaw, injuries to her right arm and left leg and bite marks to her face needed three hours of plastic surgery to repair the damage.
A week before this attack the BBC News ran a report, and released CCTV footage of a woman’s guide dog being savaged by another dog at a railway station in north-west London.
With a sudden increase in Dog attacks across the UK it is no surprise that parents fear for theirs and their child’s safety.
There has been a rise in news stories of children who have been mauled by Dogs. Thankfully the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 encourages owners to keep their animals under control, and prevent attacks like this happening.
Not only does the attack harm those involved physically, it can leave long term mental damage.
Here at Injury Lawyers we want to encourage you and you’re family to enjoy life, and progress wherever possible. Therefore it is in our interest to help you claim compensation, if you or any of your family has suffered from a dog attack.
