A quiet morning walk turned into a life-altering ordeal when a woman was attacked by an unleashed Rottweiler in her own neighborhood. In this episode, we break down the real personal injury case that followed, one that led to a $1.5 million dog bite settlement, the largest of its kind in Illinois history at the time.
We explore how the attack unfolded, the extensive medical treatment that followed, and the emotional toll the event continues to take on the victim. You’ll also hear how Illinois’s strict liability law for dog bites shaped the legal strategy, and how the defense tried and failed to claim provocation.
From early investigation to settlement negotiations and client preparation, this episode gives an inside look at what it takes to build and win a complex dog bite lawsuit.
