The specialism

A compensation claim — not the council dispute

This is about compensation for the person who was hurt: owners in Victoria are generally liable for injuries their dog causes, whether in public or on private property, and home or contents insurance may respond. (That's different from defending a dangerous-dog declaration — for that, see our Dog & Animal Law lawyers.) ORLA Connect matches you with firms that run dog-attack injury claims for victims, including children and cases with lasting scarring.

Servicing all of Victoria — metro Melbourne and regional. Post your matter privately and compare the firms that respond before you choose.

Questions & answers

Dog bite & attack — FAQs

Common questions before you post your matter.

Can I claim compensation for a dog bite?
Yes. In Victoria a dog owner is generally liable for injuries their dog causes, in public or on private property. You may be able to claim for medical costs, scarring, lost income and psychological injury.
What if a child was attacked?
Claims for injured children are common and important — scarring and trauma can have long-term effects. A matched lawyer can advise on a claim brought on the child's behalf.
Who actually pays?
Often the owner's home and contents or public-liability insurance responds to the claim, rather than the owner personally. A matched firm handles this for you.
Is it no-win-no-fee?
Many firms are — compare each firm's costs before choosing. Posting on ORLA Connect is free.
