$246,014.19 Female – 80 years old – was walking her dog when an unrestrained neighborhood dog engaged with the Plaintiff’s dog, causing her to fall and fracture her right hip. Under the Animal Control Act, the owner of an animal is held liable when the animal “attacks or injures” any person peacefully conducting themselves in a place where they have the legal right to be. Illinois courts have held that an actual “attack” on a person is not required to state a claim and that one can bring an action for any injury stemming from an animal’s conduct resulting in an injury to the plaintiff.
