Most dogs are well-behaved and have nothing but love for humans and other animals. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and if you were hurt in a dog attack, you need an aggressive Kane County dog bite lawyer on your side. Our firm is here to help. Simply contact O’Brien Law, LLC today to learn more about dog attack claims in Illinois and how we can assist you through every step of the legal process ahead.
A dog attack is often a traumatic experience and can lead to many very real physical, emotional, and financial damages. No one should ever have to endure this on their own. Fortunately, if you are seeking compensation, you’ve come to the right place. You can depend on our Geneva, Illinois personal injury lawyer to fight for your rights, every step of the way.
Here in the state of Illinois, to win a dog attack injury claim, you will have to prove that you were attacked while either on lawfully public property or while they were lawfully on private property. For example, if you were simply walking down the street and a dog ran out and attacked you for no reason, you should have a claim. Additionally, if a friend invited you to their house and their dog attacked you there, you should also have a claim.
That said, if the dog owner can prove that you provoked the attack in some way, such as by teasing the dog or trespassing on his or her property, you may not have a valid claim, as the attack may be considered your fault. Our firm can analyze the circumstances of your attack and determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim.
As long as we can successfully satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim, you should receive compensation to help you recuperate from the economic and non-economic damages you’ve incurred as a result of your accident. This can include:
After a dog attack, you must document the incident, receive medical treatment, and speak with a competent Kane County dog bite lawyer as soon as you possibly can. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Illinois is, typically, two years, which means that you cannot wait longer than four years from the date your injuries occurred to sue. Our firm is ready to help you today.
If you are a dog attack victim, look no further. Our firm is here to help you recover the compensation you need to cover the cost of your injuries, lost wages, and more. Contact O’Brien Law, LLC today to schedule your free initial consultation with our experienced firm.
