In those circumstances, you may be able to bring your claim against the farmer responsible for the animal. Most farms have insurance, so making a claim is usually a viable route.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What about individual owners?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the animal is owned by an individual, it can depend on whether there\u2019s any insurance in place.<\/p>\n<p>Pet insurance isn\u2019t compulsory, and not all insurance owners take out actually covers third-party claims. As such, it can be hard to bring a claim as a biker injured by an animal when there\u2019s no insurance in place to settle a case.<\/p>\n<p>You may have to bring a claim against the owner personally, but that isn\u2019t always easy unless they have the finances to settle a case. One of the firs things that needs to be done is the investigation into the insurance element to find out whether we can bring a viable claim for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you win a claim for an animal injury?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Winning a claim as a biker injured by an animal still comes down to negligence, as with any other case for compensation.<\/p>\n<p>We must still prove that there has been negligence on the part of whoever is responsible for the animal. When we think we can do that, we may be able to offer you No Win, No Fee representation.<\/p>\n<p>For free, no-obligation advice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>please contact the team.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a biker injured by an animal, you may be unsure as to how you can make a claim for personal injury compensation.
