An owner's negligence shouldn't leave you with the bill.

Illinois law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their animals cause, whether the attack happened in a Chicago park like Wicker Park, on a neighborhood sidewalk in Logan Square, or right at someone's own home during a visit or delivery to the property.

Furthermore, what starts as a simple bite can quickly turn into something more serious. Puncture wounds can become seriously infected without prompt medical treatment, and the force of an attack can cause broken bones, torn muscle and tissue, nerve damage, or deep lacerations requiring surgery and leaving lasting scars.

With extensive experience handling high-exposure injury claims on the defense side, Bret Franco understands how homeowners' insurance companies try to minimize dog-bite claims and how to push back effectively to secure fair compensation for victims of all ages.
