Case Details
In Dzierwa v. Ori, the Illinois Appellate Court found that dog owners were not liable for a dog bite under common negligence or the Animal Control Act because they did not know the dog was dangerous to people and did not have control over the dog at the time of the incident.
Additional Notes
Liability for dog bite injuries under either the Animal Control Act or a negligence standard is highly fact-specific. The determination of liability will include analysis of factors such as the dog’s history of dangerous behavior, whether the dog was provoked or injured, and where the attack occurred.
