Marathon runner secures settlement from negligent dog owner


Our personal injury lawyers represented a female marathon runner who had been jogging along a public footpath during a training session when she was chased and attacked by a dog. The animal caused serious bite injuries and scarring.

We were able to recover damages for her against the owner of the dog who was not watching and did not have the dog on a lead despite knowing its propensity to chase people.
