Animal Attacks are Traumatic.
The owner of a dog in Ohio is strictly liable for injuries caused by his or her pet unless the victim was trespassing or tormenting the animal.
If the dog owner was inattentive, you can also pursue negligence claims under the law.
You don't have to file two separate lawsuits. However, your case may be based on either one or both of these viewpoints.
Take Elizabeth A. Bernard’s advice.
Make a claim under both theories of liability.
We know how difficult these situations can be. If you hire us, we will handle all the details and do our best to support your claim.
