The Importance of Seeking Legal Help

After a dog bite incident, you might feel overwhelmed by medical bills, lost wages, and the pain and suffering caused by the injury. A seasoned lawyer can help you navigate through this tumultuous time and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

At The Horwitz Law Group, we have vast experience handling dog bite cases. Our team will review and analyze your case, explain the legal options available to you, determine if negligence played a part in the incident, and guide you through each step of the process.

Steps to Take Following a Dog Bite

Upon experiencing a dog bite, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Document your injuries, gather witness information, and report the incident to local authorities. These steps are essential in building a strong case and proving fault.

Common Dog Bite Injuries and Legal Process

Dog bites can result in severe injuries, including puncture wounds, infections, nerve damage, and psychological trauma. Understanding these injuries is key to assessing the value of your claim.

As for the legal process, it involves determining the dog owner’s liability, filing a lawsuit, and negotiating a settlement or going to trial. It’s a complex process that requires skilled legal representation.

Rights of Victims and Proving Fault

Victims may be able to seek compensation following a dog bite incident. Proving fault, however, can be challenging. In Illinois, the dog owner is liable if their dog attacks someone unprovoked. We at The Horwitz Law Group can help gather evidence to prove this liability. Compensation in dog bite cases may cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our team works diligently to ensure our clients receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
