Don’t Let a Dog Bite Leave You Helpless!

Dog owners undertake a serious liability when they purchase or adopt a pet: they undertake the legal liability for a canine’s unpredictable actions, especially in case of an attack. Most states employ a “first bite law” to legally protect dog owners from liability of unforeseen, uncharacteristic attacks by their pooch: Illinois is one of those states. So if you’re looking to claim personal injury against a malicious dog, you must present your plaintiff of proof of previous violent behavior committed by the animal. In some states, that doesn’t necessitate proof of a bite, but perhaps a hostile attitude towards strangers and children, even when completely unprovoked. It may not be pretty to hold the dog owner responsible for a crime they didn’t directly commit, but it’s an important lesson to prevent future dog owner negligence.
