Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Mount Prospect, IL

I was contacted by someone who was bitten by a dog. They know the dog owners live near them but don’t know what their names are and whether they have homeowner’s insurance or not. First, if they were bitten by a dog, they should contact the police department and file a report. The police will likely call animal control. If they don’t you should contact them as well. Very generally speaking, the police (or animal control) will find out the name of the dog owner and put it in their report. The police may also find out if the dog owner has homeowner’s insurance – something that is pretty important before bringing a dog bite case. If they do not find out this information, you can contact the dog owner yourself and ask them if they have insurance. However, if you suffered any type of significant injury, I would strongly suggest contacting a dog bite lawyer. The law firm will normally contact the dog owner for you and find out this information so that you do not have to. If need be, the law firm can take additional steps to get the information…. Most times it does not come to this. The dog owner will usually (though not always) disclose whether they have insurance once contacted by a law firm.
