Somerset dog bite lawyer and Devon and Somerset Law Society Solicitor of the Year 2024, James McNally, has had one of his cases featured in the Mirror.
James represents victims of dog attacks nationwide. He is an acknowledged expert in the field and runs his own specialist website.
The case reported in the Mirror involved a 17 year old girl who was hospitalised after being bitten by a police dog. The attack occurred during a search by South Yorkshire Police in Sheffield, after a chase involving a speeding car.
The injured teenager represented by James wasn’t in the speeding car or related to the man who was arrested at the scene.
The police told the newspaper that an internal investigation would now take place regarding the incident.
Injuries involving police dogs are not uncommon. In the last three years compensation approaching £800,000 has been paid out to people bitten or attacked by police dogs.
James is quoted in the Mirror as saying it is unlikely on this occasion that the police dog would be put down as a result of the attack.
