 Dog Bite Injury FAQs

 Answers to the most common questions after a serious animal attack.

  • What should I do after being bitten?

    Get medical care right away. Then report the incident to animal control and take photos of your injuries. Contacting a lawyer early helps preserve your rights and evidence.

  • Can I sue the dog owner?

    Yes. Illinois follows a strict liability rule. If you were lawfully on the property and didn’t provoke the dog, the owner is typically responsible—even if the dog never bit anyone before.

  • What if it happened at a friend or neighbor’s home?

    You can still pursue compensation—typically through their homeowner’s insurance. We approach these cases with care, professionalism, and respect for your relationship with the dog owner.

  • What injuries are common in dog bite cases?

    Bites often cause puncture wounds, infections, nerve damage, and scarring. Emotional trauma is also common—especially in children. We seek full compensation for all physical and psychological impacts.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

     In Illinois, you have up to two years—but we recommend acting quickly to preserve medical records, photographs, and other evidence.
