Compensation for a Serious Dog-Bite Injury
Dog attacks can cause far more than a temporary wound. Victims may experience permanent scarring, nerve damage, limited movement, infection, emotional distress, and fear or anxiety around animals.
The long-term effect can be especially serious when the injuries involve the face, hands, arms, or other visible and functionally important areas of the body.
After investigating the incident and documenting its effect on our client, Abdallah Law obtained a $350,000 recovery.
Illinois Dog-Bite Law
Under Illinois law, a dog’s owner may be responsible when the animal attacks, attempts to attack, or injures someone who was peaceably present in a place where that person was legally permitted to be, provided the injured person did not provoke the animal.
A successful claim may include compensation for:
Emergency and follow-up medical treatment;
Surgery and scar-revision procedures;
Pain and suffering;
Permanent scarring or disfigurement;
Emotional distress;
Lost income; and
Loss of normal life.
The value of a dog-bite case depends on the nature of the attack, the location and permanence of the injuries, available insurance coverage, and the effect the incident has on the injured person’s life.
