Vicious Dog Attacks
When a vicious dog attacks and causes serious injury, the injured victim has legal rights. Ohio is a strict liability state which makes the dog's owner, the keeper or harborer responsible. The dog's owner, keeper or harborer is responsible for your injuries, any property damage or harm to your pet.
Keep in mind the dog does not necessarily have to be known as a vicious dog. It has been documented that mild-mannered dogs have attacked and caused serious injuries. All dogs have teeth. Any dog can bite. Even a seemingly harmless accidental movement or jolt could cause a dog to react with a bite. It could be purely an accident and the dog could make a mistake in judgment and react with a bite. Accidents happen. People and animals make mistakes.
Even the most tempered dog can be provoked to react in a manner that is not characteristic of that specific animal. Or maybe that is a characteristic of the dog and it was never put in a position to act that way. It is hard to determine exactly what a dog is thinking under certain circumstances.
The law is fairly easy to understand when it comes to dog bites. Was the dog provoked? Was the person injured in a place they were allowed to be? When did the injury occur? Did the injured victim seek medical attention? Of course, there are more questions and details that need to be gathered for a case like this. But with the proper legal team, these types of cases are not too difficult to construct. The battle comes with the settlement, not the law.
Even if you are 100% in the right, and have all the documentation, there will still be a battle to get the compensation you need and deserve. We already know this. The insurance companies just do not hand over large settlements without resistance. They may appear friendly and nice but behind the scenes, they know what you should pay out and it is their job to make sure you get much less or nothing at all.

In all matters involving personal injury it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the Statute of Limitations. If you or a loved one is a victim of personal injuries, call Eshelman Legal Group LLC, now at 1-800-365-0001. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we will work on a Contingent Fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don’t delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires. The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all the facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law. See Terms of Use.
