Compensation Awarded for Rottweiler Attack Injuries

A mother and her daughter have been awarded a total of RM223,469.60 in damages by the Sessions Court following injuries sustained during an attack by two Rottweiler dogs. The court found the dog's owner 100 per cent negligent and liable for the incident.
Damages for the Mother

The mother, Yap Siew Ling, received RM88,000 for 11 months of lost earnings, reflecting her inability to work as a self-employed beautician and aesthetic consultant. Additionally, she was awarded RM87,000 to compensate for the multiple injuries she sustained during the attack, which occurred on April 27, 2019, in Kepayang Heights near Seremban.
Compensation for the Daughter

Yap's 12-year-old daughter, Chin Jie Ying, was awarded RM8,000 in damages. This compensation addresses the injuries she suffered when the Rottweilers attacked the pair five years ago.
Special Damages Awarded

The court also granted RM36,469.60 in special damages, which likely cover expenses incurred as a direct result of the incident, such as medical treatments and other related costs. These damages were awarded to both plaintiffs collectively.
