Chicago Dog Bite Lawyers

Each year more than 4 million people suffer dog bites—and an estimated 66% of animal bites require a medical attention and antibiotics. Serious bite injuries—which may require surgery or hospitalization—may involve:

• Deep infections
• Osteomyelitis
• Nerve and/or tendon damage
• Tissue loss and permanent facial or body scarring
• Multiple medically necessary cosmetic surgeries
• Lengthy rehabilitation
• Wrongful Death

If you have been injured by an animal attack, mauled or bitten by any dog, including a Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Presa Canarios, or any other dog or household pet, then you need to understand your legal rights. Adler & Adler, P.C. can help Cook County, Chicago, Kane, DuPage, Kendall, Lake County and other Illinois victims of animal and dog attacks obtain the maximum compensation due for medical costs, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Illinois law is clear that unless a attack was provoked, the animal's owner is responsible for the animal's behavior. It also is not necessary that the animal actually make physical contact in causing an injury.

If you or a loved one has been attacked or injured by a dog or another animal, first obtain medical help, then contact Adler & Adler, P.C. at 312-443-1488 to set up a FREE consultation to discuss your legal options. While compensation claims depend on the nature of an animal bite, in the past, we have helped victims of dog bites recover compensation of $45,000 from single case.
