If you or someone you love has been bitten by a dog, immediately getting medical treatment is imperative for not only your health, but for any personal injury case you want to pursue. Under the Illinois Animal Control Act, dog owners may be strictly liable for injuries their pets inflict on others. 

Dog bites, in particular, must be treated immediately with medical attention due to high infection risks. Go to your local emergency department for medical care. If it hasn’t already been done, it may be helpful to contact local animal control or law enforcement to file an official report. 

We understand that the physical toll of being bitten or attacked by an animal is very heavy. The emotional aftermath can sometimes be even worse. Common house pets that once seemed harmless or even playful can now be terrifying to encounter.
