How to Report an Incident or Demand Compensation on Your Own

If you have the time to put into it, you can create and file an official animal control report. If you decide to do it yourself, it is essential to consider how much research, time, and effort can go into that can take away from the treat and recovery of an animal-related injury.

Steps you may take to complete the task yourself can include the following:

  1. Contact the pet owner of the animal that attacked you or someone you know (if you know who it is).
  2. Ask them directly for compensation for the injury and related medical treatment.
  3. Make a report to your local government and the Chesapeake Animal Control Service Unit.
  • The animal will be detained, and there may be action on the neighbor (however, they will not be forced into financial compensation unless you seek a lawsuit).

To make a report with your local government (or request compensation and file a demand letter), you will need all the following to complete the task:

  • All the details you can give about the incident, including time and location
  • Details about your injury, including the type of injury you sustained in the incident
  • Costs, physicians, and other medical treatment information
  • Any photo evidence you can obtain for evidence
  • Details and description about the animal in the incident
  • All the information you can give about the pet owner
