Chicago Dog Bite Attorney

Have you or your children been injured by a dog bite? In Illinois, dogs must be registered to an owner and the dog’s owner is strictly liable for the actions of their dog. Unless the animal was provoked or illegal trespassing was involved, pet owners are expected to keep other citizens safe from their dogs. Injuries obtained from animal attacks can be very serious and life-changing. Emergency room medical bills from injuries can be very burdensome, especially if you do not have health insurance. A dog owner is responsible for keeping others safe from their pet.

DOG OWNERS NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PETS

Many of us are aware that dogs can be great companions when properly trained. However, without proper training and supervision some dogs can be vicious and unpredictable. All dogs have different temperaments and behaviors can vary depending on breed, upbringing and home environment. However, there is no way to predict how a dog will react to a particular person or situation and even the most well-trained animals have been known to attack.

If you, your child, or even your own dog has been the victim of a dog bite know that you have legal rights. The Chicago dog bite attorneys at The Horwitz Law Group have dealt with these sorts of cases before and will get you the full compensation you deserve.
