Sue the veterinary clinic

Did your pet get sick, and you went to the veterinary clinic, hoping for help? However, instead of getting well, the animal got worse, or did you receive improper care? In such situations, the question arises: how to protect one’s rights and bring negligent veterinarians to justice?

Why appeal to the court in cases against the veterinary clinic?

There are several reasons:

1. Protection of the rights of your pet:

• If you believe that your pet did not receive proper treatment, which led to its deterioration or death, going to court may help you hold the veterinary clinic accountable and receive compensation for the damages caused.
• If you witness animal cruelty at a clinic, you can take legal action to demand that those responsible be held accountable and the animal cruelty stopped.
• If you think that a veterinary clinic is overcharging for services, forcing unnecessary procedures on you, or falsifying bills, you can ask the court to return the illegally charged funds to you.

2. Compensation:

• If you have spent significant amounts of money on your pet’s treatment due to improper treatment at the clinic, you can go to court to demand reimbursement of these expenses.
• If you have suffered emotional distress due to the loss of a pet or its deterioration due to inadequate treatment, you may be able to sue for compensation for that suffering.
• You can go to court to demand compensation for moral damages caused by the cruel treatment of your pet in a veterinary clinic.

3. To prevent similar incidents in the future:

• Taking legal action may help prevent similar cases of improper treatment of animals at this veterinary clinic in the future.
• Your case may set a precedent that will help protect the rights of other pet owners.

Consult a lawyer

Going to court is not always the only option to solve a problem. You can try to resolve the issue with the veterinary clinic peacefully, for example through negotiations or with the help of a mediator, who can be our lawyer.

Why is it difficult to prove the guilt of a veterinary clinic without a lawyer?

For several reasons:

1. Need for specialized knowledge: Understanding veterinarians’ actions and assessing appropriate treatment requires veterinary knowledge available to specialists.
2. Collection of evidence: it is necessary to collect evidence confirming the guilt of the veterinary clinic: receipts, extracts from the medical history, examination results, eyewitness testimony, etc.
3. The complexity of legal procedures: litigation regarding veterinary clinics requires knowledge of legal aspects and the ability to apply them in practice.
