Chicago Injury Law

In Chicago, and in fact the entire USA over recent years, dog attacks on humans, including both dog bite injury cases, and those cases which have resulted in the death of the victim, have become more and more common. Controversey exists over whether these dog bite attacks can be blamed on the prevalence of certain breeds of dogs or whether they are due primarily to the actions or inactions of the dogs' owners. Some state laws hold dog owners liable for injuries or damage that their pet causes to people or other animals. Recently, some states have amended dog bite laws so that previous indications of vicious tendencies or temperment may not be needed to prove owner liability in dog bit personal injury cases.
