Dayton Ohio Dog Bite Attorney

Dog bites and the injuries caused by them can be much more serious and traumatic than most people realize. Many times the victims of a dog attack are children. There are several reasons why that is the case:

• Children are smaller. A dog will be less intimidated by a child and more likely to attack.
• Children are less experienced at reading the cues of when a dog should not be approached.
• Children are less able to defend themselves against a dog attack.

Another factor that makes dog bites to children so serious is the fact that, because of a child's height, a dog can more easily bite the face or neck. Bites to the face or neck are more traumatic emotionally and are more likely to leave permanent scarring that can affect a child's:

• Self-esteem
• Future employability

If you or your child was bitten by a dog, we can help you recover compensation for that attack. In Ohio, there is strict liability for any dog that bites. This means that an owner is responsible for the harm his or her dog does regardless of issues such as whether or not the dog had a history of violence. However, if the dog is known to be vicious, punitive damages may be available.
