Frequently, accidents on the highway are caused by stray dogs or
occasionally, stray farm animals and horses. The burden on dog owners
and the owners of animals generally, is a heavy one to ensure that their
animals are properly restrained and do not stray onto the highway where
they may cause accidents.
We have successfully claimed against dog owners, farm owners and horse
owners for their animals causing injury on the highway. There is a heavy
burden on animal owners to make sure that they are properly restrained
and kept under control. If accidents, are caused by straying animals on
the highway, then we have good chance of success. Most household
owners will have cover for accidents caused by their animals on their
household policies.
