ANIMAL ATTACK

​

From bite wounds to serious disfigurement, animal attacks can cause physical and emotional scarring to people of all ages. In Illinois, the Illinois Animal Control Act subjects animal attacks to strict liability. Certain breeds, such as Pit Bulls, have reputations as dangerous dogs that are prone to attacking and have the strength to cause serious injury.

​

Dog bites can result in puncture wounds, muscle and tissue damage, infections, facial lacerations, and even damage to the eyes. People can also be injured when running from an animal or dog while being chased.

​

Our goal is to seek the compensation you deserve by recovering your medical bills, long-term care costs, lost wages, compensation for disfigurement, pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, and other related expenses. In wrongful death cases, we can seek funeral expenses and compensation for emotional trauma to survivors.

​
