Illinois Dog Bite Attorney

If you have been bitten by a dog, it may result in trauma and medical expenses. Contact the Law Office of Daniel E Goodman, LLC, for a reliable dog bite attorney in the Chicago, IL, area.

Dog Bite Risks

Dogs are a great pet to have around. They can be wonderful companions, friends, and protectors. At times, however, dogs attack people. When a dog bites a person, that person faces several risks, including:

  • Excessive bleeding
  • Infection
  • Permanent scarring
  • Rabies

The aftermath of a dog attack may contain surgery, medication, and emotional trauma. Recovery may be complicated, and then, of course, there is always the risk that the same dog who bit you may bite someone else. That’s why you should hire a competent dog bite lawyer.

Dog Bite Law

At the Law Office of Daniel E Goodman, LLC, we are familiar with personal injury law regarding dog bites. The state of Illinois statute of limitations requires that all dog bite cases are brought into court within two years from the date of the bite, so if you plan to file for a lawsuit, it’s best to do it quickly.

Illinois also follows a strict liability policy when it comes to injuries caused by animals. This means that when an animal injures a person unprovoked, the animal’s owner is liable, whether or not they were aware of their animal’s ability to cause injury.

Our Dog Bite Expertise

Our legal team at the Law Office of Daniel E Goodman, LLC, has extensive experience with dog bite claims. If we represent you, we can successfully prove not only that you were attacked, but that you had a lawful right to be in the place that you were attacked in (meaning you were not trespassing), and that the animal who bit you did so unprovoked.

If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dangerous dog, don’t hesitate to take action. Call the Law Office of Daniel E Goodman, LLC, as soon as possible at 847-292-6000. We can help you get the compensation you need and prevent further attacks.
