Providing the Help You Need to Recover
In Illinois, dog owners may be held legally liable for damages if their dog attacks or injures another person. Under the Illinois Animal Control Act, individuals who harbor or take care of dogs can also be held responsible for damages if an animal under their control attacks and injures someone. In addition, the animal in question doesn't have to be a dog. It could have been a horse, or even a cat.
At Clancy Law, we know the law and have successfully represented numerous dog bite injury victims in the Chicago, Illinois, area. We also know that our clients' trust is the most important asset we can have. We strive to earn that trust by taking the time to listen, by keeping the lines of communication open and by providing the quality, experienced legal representation people deserve.
There are no free bites in Illinois. Dog owners are responsible for the injuries their pets cause regardless of whether the animal had a history of attacking people and or whether there was any negligence involved. If a member of your family has been attacked by a dog or another type of "pet" — call 630-524-4338 or contact either of our firm's Chicago area law offices today.
