Dog bites can terrify, leaving permanent scars, both emotional and physical. Tragically, many dog bite victims are children, and these innocent injured parties often must go through grueling recuperative surgeries and therapies to heal. If you or a loved one or a child has been attacked by a dog, the battle-proven Illinois dog bite attorneys of Steven J. Malman & Associates can provide the critical resources and legal guidance you need.

When you retain our services, our team of attorneys will immediately go to work. We’ll investigate precisely how the dog attack occurred and leverage our formidable resources and deep knowledge of Illinois state law (we’ve served over 6,000 clients over the course of more than 15 years of operation) to see that justice is served and that you're fairly compensated for your medical bills, pain and suffering, additional costs.

Illinois law is very clear about how dog bite matters should be handled. If a dog (that you did not provoke) bites you, you're entitled to damages. Similarly, if you sustained injury while fleeing from an aggressive dog – for instance, if you broke your ankle or got hit by a car while running away from the vicious animal – you're similarly protected, and you can seek damages. (Often, the dog owner's homeowners insurance will pay for medical bills, surgery to repair scar damage, and wages lost.) Illinois is also what’s known as a "first bite" state. That means that the first time a dog bites someone – even if it’s never bitten any one before – you're entitled to damages.

All that said, while Illinois law is favorably predisposed to dog bite claimants, making an effective personal injury claim requires the hands-on assistance of proven, aggressive, and thorough Chicago personal injury lawyers. We've tackled cases of all sizes and levels of complexity, including spinal cord injuries, nursing home abuse, Civil Rights violations, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and, of course, premises liability matters. We have an on-staff physician who holds a law degree, so we can thoroughly assess your injuries and figure out the most strategic way to move your claim forward.
