🐕 Illinois Has Some of the Strongest Dog Bite Laws in the Country
Under the Illinois Animal Control Act, dog owners can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs—even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. That means if you were lawfully in a place and didn’t provoke the dog, the owner is usually responsible for your injuries.
Many people assume that if the dog has no history of aggression, or if the bite wasn’t severe, they don’t have a strong claim. But the truth is, even minor bites can result in significant legal claims, especially if there is scarring, nerve damage, infection, or emotional trauma.

🏥 The Real Cost of a Dog Bite Injury
Victims of dog bites often underestimate the true impact of their injuries. Beyond the initial pain and fear, dog bite victims may face:
Emergency room visits and surgeries
Plastic or reconstructive surgery
Ongoing therapy or counseling
Lost wages from missed work
Scars that last a lifetime
Anxiety, PTSD, and loss of quality of life
John J. Malm discusses how these factors are not only emotionally and physically devastating—they also add real value to your claim.
