SHOULD I GET A LAWYER FOR A DOG BITE?

SHOULD I GET A LAWYER FOR A DOG BITE?

If you have suffered a dog attack in Chicago, we know it can be terrifying.

Most of the time dogs are friendly and playful, but if they attack, it can result in serious injury and life-long scarring.

Often, a dog’s aggressive behavior is the result of a negligent owner. Under Illinois law, if a dog has injured you, it is the owner’s responsibility to pay your medical expenses.

Before hiring an attorney and taking it further, sum up your case and the injuries caused.

For example, if you have minor injuries with no evidence of a serious attack, it would be completely futile to hire a lawyer, as there would not be much to prove.

On the other hand, if the dog attack is serious and the victim is severely injured, you should contact an attorney at the earliest.

A Chicago Dog Bite Lawyer Can Help You

After your dog bite injury, hiring a dog bite attorney might not be your top priority. It can be a frustrating, confusing time. However, we urge you to call our legal professionals for a free consultation.

We can help determine if you have a case for compensation.

Dog attacks are covered under the dog owner’s homeowner insurance policy. Trying to fight a big insurance company without any legal help could leave you with lots of unpaid medical bills. We do not want that to happen.

When you call us, we’ll get to work for you. We’ll:

Send investigators to collect evidence

-Prove the dog was “at large” when it attacked you

-Uncover whether the dog had dangerous habits

-Hire the experts needed to prove your case

-Cover your upfront costs

-Answer all your legal questions

-Keep you up-to-date with your dog bite case

And much more
