Dog Bites
Injuries Caused by Dog Bites and Vicious Dogs
Dog bites and dog attacks result in countless serious injuries every day. In fact, dog bites are so common and so severe that Ohio Revised Code Section 955.28 was enacted specifically to protect injured parties’ right to recover compensation for dog bite and dog attack injuries.
Contact Lowe Eklund Wakefield Co., LPA to discuss your rights and claims if a dog has caused any type of injury, including:
- Bites and punctures
- Tripping or falls during attack
- Property damage, including death of attacked pets
