Dog Bite Case Results

Shea Law Group has successfully represented many people injured when attacked or bitten by dogs. Joseph Shea has personally represented many victims who have been left with permanent scarring as a result of a dog bite. He has recovered over 2.4 million dollars through settlement, arbitration and/or trial for victims of dog bites. Because of his experience in representing victims of dog bite injuries, Mr. Shea was contacted and interviewed by Chicago Lawyer Magazine (see attached link). In addition, Shea Law Group accepts referrals from other attorneys, both in the Chicago area and beyond.

Tragically, many victims of dogs bites are children whom are too often left with permanent scarring. Because of a child’s size, the bite is often to the child’s face. The recoveries obtained by Shea Law Group often help pay the child’s medical bills and allow for corrective plastic surgery when necessary.
