What Is An Animal Injury Claim?
An animal injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or a loved one have been injured by an animal. This may include dog bites, horse-riding accidents, farm animal attacks, or injuries caused by unsafe handling of animals in public places, workplaces, or leisure activities.
Animal-related accidents can cause serious injuries, such as deep cuts, broken bones, nerve damage, infections, or permanent scarring. They can also lead to psychological trauma, including anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If you or your family have been affected by an animal injury in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you secure compensation and access the treatment, rehabilitation, and financial support you need.

You may be entitled to make an animal injury claim if you are:
• A victim of a dog bite or attack in a public place or on private property
• A horse rider or handler injured during riding lessons, stables, or competitions
• A farm worker or visitor injured by livestock such as cows, bulls, or sheep
• An employee injured while working with animals due to unsafe practices or lack of training

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
