Were You Involved in a Livestock Injury in Illinois?

Contact Us For Free Consultation

Living in or visiting rural areas around Illinois often means being near livestock at auctions, fairs, or farm-related events. While animals like cows and horses are part of everyday life, they can become dangerous if not properly managed. Being knocked down by a loose cow or thrown off a horse isn’t just an unfortunate accident; it’s often the result of someone’s failure to ensure safety.

Illinois law protects individuals who are injured by livestock, even in settings where animals are common. Under the Illinois Animal Control Act, victims do not need to prove that an animal had a history of aggression. If you were lawfully present and did not provoke the animal, you may have a strong case for compensation. Wallace Miller helps victims of livestock-related injuries understand their rights and pursue legal action to recover damages for medical costs, lost income, and more.

What Our Clients Say


From the first moment of my call with Nick Kelly I knew I would retain his services. The professionalism, knowledge and compassion I was shown throughout the process was incredible. I was always up to date on the status of my claim from not only Nick but his paralegal team, which includes Ari and Mehak. They maximized my settlement and would not settle for anything other than what he first discussed with me. The process was simple and painless on my end as Nick and his team did all the work. I would recommend Wallace and Miller for all your personal injury claims and you will be able to sit back, recover, and watch this amazing team go to work for you. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I have found working with Wallace Miller to be an amazing experience. The team of Aylin, Ari, and Jessica are exceptional. They’ve put a lot of time into my case, and work hard to make sure that things are done right. No matter how many questions I have, they get me the answers I need, and are astoundingly polite. It is actually a pleasure speaking and emailing with them, and I appreciate the diligence that they have shown to my case. They have a way of making complex things understandable and less foreboding. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for their hard work. I strongly recommend working with Wallace Miller.

My mother was badly injured in a car accident, and I needed help. While I was trying to navigate her medical care, Nick, Ari, and Mehak were at my side. Nick has the perfect combination of expertise and compassion. He explained foreign concepts in digestible ways and catered to the specific needs of our challenging and stressful situation. He was very thorough, responsive, effective, and kind. I felt like I had a team, and I’m so thankful for their service and support!
