'Courts Try to Define the Value of Losing a Pet' -- New Free Article from Clifford Law Offices

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 5, 2008 -- A new article, 'Courts Try to Define the Value of Losing a Pet', is now available free from Clifford Law Offices. The Chicago law office is educating people about legal issues with articles on their website Chicago Personal Injury Attorney (http://www.cliffordlaw.com).

Here is an introduction, with a link to the full article below.

Pets can become like family members and when veterinarians or pet product manufacturers are negligent and it leads to the death of one's pet, that can be devastating.

Some states, like Illinois, provide for the negligent killing of a pet which became big in the news with the massive national recall of tainted pet food.

Under the Humane Care for Animals Act in Illinois, the law provides damages for emotional distress as well as punitive damages not to exceed $25,000 for each act of abuse or neglect.

Robert Clifford, a dog lover and owner himself, explains the value of a pet and what to do when one loses this loved one due to the negligence, neglect or abuse of others.
