Dog attacks occur for a variety of reasons. Some dogs feel particularly threatened by strangers, and in rare cases, some may even attack without provocation. There are also situations in which a dog does not make direct contact with the victim, but does cause an accident and/or direct harm. If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog bite attack.

We at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Here are some examples for which an injured victim may be eligible for compensation under Illinois law:

  • The victim suffers a heart attack when attempting to evade or avoid a charging dog;
  • The victim falls down a stairway when charged at by a dog;
  • A bicycle or motorcycle accident occurs when the victim is attempting to evade the dog.

Direct non-bite injuries caused by dogs include:

  • The dog pushes or claws at the victim;
  • The dog knocks the victim over;
  • The dog pins the victim to the ground.
