Dog Bite

Dog Bite in Ohio

Ohio law demands the care and restraint of domestic pets. Any victim of a dog bite may have claims against the owner of the dog under the owner's homeowner's insurance policy.

A dog bite or mauling can be emotionally traumatizing and cause severe, even permanent injuries.

If you or a loved one has suffered a dog bite or mauling, make sure that you receive appropriate medical attention. It is also important to identify the dog and the owner as soon as possible. You should try to preserve evidence of the bite including pictures of the dog and the actual injury. 

Dog Bites and Children

Many children in Ohio become the victims of dog bites because they are more likely to approach dogs. Children are usually not aware of the dangers. As a result, many children suffer the most severe dog bites. This requires special consideration about the extent of their dog bite injuries and their future needs.
