Under Ohio Revised Code § 955.28, the owner of a dog is strictly liable for injury caused by their dog, with narrow exceptions. That means you don't have to prove the owner was careless — only that the injury happened.
Dog-bite claims often involve reconstructive surgery, scarring, infection, and long-term emotional trauma — especially in children. We build the case with the medical documentation and expert input needed to show the full picture.
Most claims are paid by the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance, so the recovery is usually not coming out of a neighbor's pocket.
