Our Attorneys can Assist in Your Dog Bite or Animal Attack Injury Claim

Failure to properly restrain animals or pets can pose a serious risk. Pet and animal owners are largely responsible for the control of their animals. In dog bite cases, a dog owner can usually be held liable for his or her dog’s attack even if the owner is not found to be negligent. Under Ohio Revised Code §955.28(B) owners are typically ‘strictly liable’ if their animal attacks a person. Landlords and landowners on whose property an animal is kept or ‘harbored’ may also be responsible for damages caused by the animal. If an owner knew of his or her animal’s violent nature, due to prior behavior, such as other bites or attempted attacks, that owner can potentially be held responsible for punitive damages in addition to standard compensation of losses.

Other animal-related cases can arise from the failure of an owner, keeper, or harborer of animals to control and confine those animals. Examples include claims arising as a result of livestock or farm animals causing serious accidents on roads.
