Bites and other injuries that may be inflicted in an attack by an animal can have effects that range from minor to severe; and that can entail both physical and psychological consequences.  In Illinois, animal owners and guardians are legally obligated to exercise reasonable care to prevent their animals from causing this type of harm without provocation.  While most animal attack injuries are as a result of dog bites, any type of animal can cause injuries. While attacks from pit bulls are most publicized, our lawyers have successfully represented many people who have been harmed by many breeds of dogs. The animal attack lawyers at GWC have considerable knowledge of and experience with Illinois’ Animal Control Act.  We welcome the opportunity to put the law to work for you so that you may recover fair compensation.

At GWC, we will promptly and comprehensively investigate the circumstances of your injury and analyze all available facts.  We take great care in determining which parties are potentially liable and in identifying the damages to which you may be entitled.  Potential types of recoverable damages in an animal attack case include the cost of medical treatment and medications, wages lost as a result of the injuries, and compensation for disfigurement.  If expert testimony is required to prove any aspect of a claim, we make it a priority to choose the expert(s) whose qualifications are best tailored to the unique circumstances of your case.

As with every case we handle, our animal injury attorneys pursue all claims with a dedication to recovering damages to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Let GWC’s experienced attorneys help you with your questions and needs pertaining to animal-inflicted injuries.  Call us for a free consultation today.
