You Can Get Justice After A Dog Bite

You will need a lawyer to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Wise Law Offices LLC can help.

Illinois Dog Bite Cases

Illinois ranks among the top states in dog bite injury claims, and these often can average in the tens of thousands of dollars. Laws in Illinois cover the full range of dog-inflicted injuries and may impose liability without needing to prove the owner at fault. For example, some cities deem certain dog breeds as dangerous and classify injuries caused by these dogs as serious even if they do not require medical treatment.

However, Illinois law also imposes on the injured person the burden of proving lack of provocation or trespassing — and attorneys for a dog owner’s insurer will do everything possible to emphasize that burden. Our lawyers know how to counter such tactics by demonstrating where liability lies, especially when a dog bite or attack has caused serious medical problems.
