Illinois Dog Bite Lawyer
Experience the Mevorah Difference Dog bites are a significant problem in Chicago and elsewhere. Each year, more than 800,000 victims of dog bite accidents require medical treatment for their injuries. Children are the main victims. More than 50 percent of the serious cases of facial dog bites in Chicago hospitals concerned children under 4 years of age. The attacking dog often is owned by a friend or neighbor. Dogs not known to the victim account for only 10–20 percent of all reported dog bites. In children, stray dogs show a tendency toward biting hands, those parts of the body that more often move, while pet dogs tend to attack a child's face, with particular preference for the mouth area. At the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, our attorneys understand the physical and psychological injuries that many victims suffer as a result of being attacked by a dog. In addition to the physical injuries caused by the attack, victims also have to deal with the emotional trauma of the attack, fear of dogs, and fear of being outdoors. Many dog bite victims also have to deal with loss of earnings from work and permanent disfigurement. You may be entitled to recover monetary damages for pain and suffering, payment of reasonable medical expenses, lost wages, and permanent disfigurement.
