Dr. Robert Neville, played by Will Smith, is injured in the movie shortly after falling prey to a trap presumably set up by "the infected," people who are infected with the zombie like virus that causes them to become allergic to sunlight. The injuries occur as a result of his dog and only friend dying.
The trap is set up through the use of "Fred," a mannequin that Neville talks to at the movie store. Driving through the city Neville sees Fred standing in the middle of the road, which causes Neville confusion and anger. When he goes to investigate the matter he is caught up in an ankle spring trap. He wakes up hanging upside down in the growing darkness from his watch alarm. He frees himself from the trap and is immediately cornered by three infected dogs. In the following fight, Neville's dog Sam is bitten and infected. After returning to the safe house, Neville has no choice but to euthanize Sam. The tragic death of his only friend forces Neville into a spiral. He charges into the night and recklessly attacks the infected. He corners a large group at the end of a pier and uses his SUV as a weapon. As the pack of infected fight against the SUV they flip it over injuring Dr. Neville. Only the sudden appearance of Anna saves him from being killed or being infected.
