Dog bites and dog attacks in Ohio can lead to very serious injuries and sometimes even death.
If you have been bitten by a dog, you are most likely entitled to receive compensation for your injuries and the damages you sustained.



In Ohio, the owner of a dog has strict liability for control of the animal. Strict liability means the victim of a dog attack or a dog bite does not have to prove the owner of the dog was negligent. The victim must simply prove the dog attacked and the attack caused injuries or damages.
Additionally, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled the victim of a dog attack may file a law suit not only under the strict liability cause of action but also under a negligence cause of action.
Pursuing both causes of action allows a dog bite victim in Ohio to sue for punitive damages as well, which can triple the monetary award.
Damages a victim of a dog bite or dog attack may receive include, but are not limited to:
Pain - Mental Suffering - Permanent Scarring - Temporary or Permanent Disability -Loss of Future Earning Capacity - Loss of Quality of Life - Medical Expenses - Cosmetic Services - Psychological Counseling - Damaged Clothing - Loss of Income
Typically, any money recovered from the owner or keeper of the dog is covered by the owner's or keeper's homeowner’s insurance.
