When A Dog Bites, Your Dog Bite Lawyer Attacks
Back.
Ohio Dog Bite Injury Lawyer - Cleveland Dog Attacks Attorney – Call The
Right Attorney - Cleveland, Ohio
We all like to think of dogs as man’s best
friend. We have fond and loving memories of playing lovingly with
our childhood dog in the backyard. Some dogs are our best
companions. But, unfortunately, not all dogs are like this. At Spitz
Law Firm, your dog bite attorney also knows that even good dogs can
attack innocent people.
Every year in the United States, dogs bite an estimated 4.7 million
people – two percent of the American population. About 800,000 of
these attacks require medical attention. This means that about every
6.5 seconds a dog bites someone, and that every 38 seconds one of
these victims seeks medical attention. Sadly, this includes 400,000
children under the age of 12 that are bitten and attacked each year.
According to the Center for Disease Control’s most recent study, 12
people will die on average per year from dog attacks. This study of
fatal dog bites by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
found that 80 percent of the 25 dog bite deaths over a two year span
were children under 12 – including three infants less than 30 days
old, all of whom were killed in their sleep by the family dog.
Amazingly, these statistics do not take into account that about one
third of all dogs bite cases are never even reported.

Dog bites and attacks can cause serious and
disfiguring bite marks and other injuries that require
reconstructive surgery and still leave permanent scars. Dog attacks
can result in far more than physical pain and disfigurement. Some
dogs will pass on rabies or other diseases. Many victims, especially
children, will be haunted by the trauma and develop a paralyzing
long-term fear of dogs. All of these factors must be
considered and addressed by your Cleveland dog bite lawyer to
maximize the value of your claim and settlement.
At the urging of dog bite lawyers and concerned
citizens, the Ohio legislature enacted a strict liability dog bite
statute. Under Ohio Revised Code § 955.28, the attacking dog’s owner
is liable for all damages when the dog bites a person in either a
public place or when the victim is legally on the owner’s property
as a guest or a business invitee. In enacting this statute, the
legislature took away the former rule giving the dog “one free bite”
before the owner could be held liable. Now, the only defense to this
strict liability statute is where the victim has provoked the dog.

Again, as your dog attacks law firm, we know that some very good
dogs occasionally bite and cause serious injury. In most dog bite
cases, the pet owner’s insurance covers the cost of compensation for
your or your loved one’s injuries. The dog owner typically does not
have to pay anything personally. If you have been injured by a dog
owned by a close friend, relative, or neighbor, don’t hesitate to
talk to your dog bite attorney about how to proceed with your injury
claim case. Failure to act will only benefit the insurance
companies.
In order to protect your or your loved ones’ rights in dog bite
cases, it is important to call the right dog attack attorney.
Otherwise, insurance adjusters may try to blame you for provoking
the dog; attempt to place responsibility with a parent for not
watching the child victim; or even try to rely on the no longer
existing “one free bite” rule. Call The Spitz Law Firm today so we
can help you today with your dog bite claim.
