Ohio households typically earn $67,873 a year (U.S. Census Bureau SAIPE 2023, state estimate). Dog bites lawsuits in Ohio are filed in the county Court of Common Pleas where the claim arose — not in a made-up city court. Serious injuries are treated at ACS Level I trauma centers including MetroHealth Medical Center (Cleveland); The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (Columbus); University of Cincinnati Medical Center (Cincinnati); ProMedica Toledo Hospital (Toledo); Miami Valley Hospital (Dayton); Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital (Youngstown). Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10 gives most injury claims two years; § 2315.33 bars recovery at 51% fault; § 4509.51 is still $25,000 per person in auto liability.

Dog attacks and dog bites can be unexpected, leading to devastating damages and tremendous harm. Dog owners, keepers, and harborers are liable for any damages, injury, death, or even property damages caused by the dog. Additionally, dog sitters, walkers, doggy daycares, training dog facilities, or even property owners can also be held liable for dog bites.

DO YOU NEED REPUTABLE REPRESENTATION?

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU

Dog bites are often a traumatic and terrifying experience that can cause severe injuries. Unfortunately, these attacks can be caused by inattentive, negligent, or irresponsible dog owners or dog-watching practices. As your dog bite attorney, we will work tirelessly to prove fault and seek compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and financial losses due to injury.

In Ohio, you have the right to seek full and fair compensation for dog bite injuries. The amount of compensation you may receive depends on several factors, including insurance policy limitations, damage caps, prior injuries, and liability exceptions.

As your dog bite attorney, we go above and beyond to prove fault and show that the responsible party failed to abide by behaviors required by law. These behaviors may include refusal to keep the dog on a leash while in public, over-exciting the dog, or commanding it to attack you.

5-STAR CLIENT COMMITMENT

From the second you hire us as your dog bite attorney to the day your file closes, we’ll be here for you with unmatched commitment and service. While most lawyers have your calls go straight to voicemail, fail to discuss the reason for case delays, or leave you guessing about the future of your case — we go above and beyond.

You’ll have around-the-clock access to your attorney’s personal cell phone number for on-call service with routine follow-ups from our team. Always feel taken care of and heard at The Henry Law Firm.

TYPES OF DOG BITE INJURIES

As a dog bite attorney, we’ve seen severe and fatal injuries. If you or someone you know has been attacked by a dog, seek medical help immediately. If possible, get away or subdue the dog. Under Ohio law, you are protected from liability if the dog is injured or killed while you’re defending yourself or another person.

Some of the more common dog bite injuries include, but are not limited to:

Puncture wounds
Bone fractures
Nerve damage
Torn muscles, ligaments, or tendons
Diseases such as rabies
Viral or bacterial infection
