Dog Bite and other animal-related injury
Millions of people are injured every year due to dog bites or attacks. Under the Illinois Animal Control Act, an individual injured by a dog may sue the animal’s owner for financial, physical, and emotional harm as long as the individual was not trespassing or provoking the animal. If you have suffered injuries from a dog bite or attack, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately, and contact the local authorities.
