Each year, hundreds of thousands of persons are injured as a result of attacks by animals. The most common animal attacks are dog bites. Dog bites can often cause serious injuries resulting in infections, hospitalization and permanent disfigurement. Sadly, children are most often the victims of serious dog attacks.
If you or a loved one is the victim of an animal attack, you may have the right to pursue a case against the owner of the animal. Typically, cases involving animal attacks are filed in Illinois courts under theories negligence and/or the Animal Control Act.
