🐕 Bitten by a Dog? You Have Rights.

Dog bites can cause serious injuries, infections, and even long-term trauma. Ohio law holds dog owners strictly liable, meaning you don’t have to prove negligence—just that the bite happened.

💡 Key Things to Know:
✔️ Medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering may be covered.
✔️ A dog’s history of aggression can strengthen your case.
✔️ Homeowner’s insurance often pays—not the dog owner personally.

Don’t let an injury disrupt your life. Call Zychowicz Law for a free case review today.

🚨In addition to being terrible drivers, dogs also occasionally bite🍴🐕

Ohio enforces strict liability for dog bites, simplifying your path to compensation. But you also have the option to pursue a negligence claim.

Strict Liability 👉🏼This legal approach means the dog owner is responsible for any harm caused by their dog, regardless of the dog’s past behavior or the owner’s knowledge. Compensation for injuries can be sought without proving the owner was at fault.

Negligence 👉🏼 While strict liability offers a straightforward claim process, pursuing a negligence claim can be beneficial if the owner’s reckless actions contributed to the incident. This could lead to additional damages, particularly in cases of gross negligence.

Filing Deadline 🗓️ Ohio gives you a two-year window from the injury date to file a claim.

Exceptions 🐩 Claims may be invalid if the injury occurred while provoking the dog, committing a crime, or trespassing.

1. Document Everything:
Beyond just taking photos of the accident scene, keep a “pain diary” detailing your physical and emotional struggles post-incident. This can be crucial in personal injury claims for emotional distress and pain & suffering compensation.

2. Understand Lien Subrogation:
Be aware that if you win a settlement, your health insurer or those who paid your medical bills might have a right to part of your settlement. Understanding the fine print of your insurance and consulting a lawyer can help you navigate these claims.

3. Mind Social Media:
Even a simple photo or post can undermine your injury claim. Defense attorneys can use these to argue against the severity of your injuries. Consider a social media hiatus or strict privacy settings until your case is resolved.

4. Explore All Avenues of Compensation:
Beyond the obvious defendant, there may be other less obvious parties responsible for your injury (e.g., a city for poor road maintenance, an employer for inadequate training). A thorough investigation might reveal multiple sources of compensation.

5. Consider the Impact on Future Earnings: Injuries might not just affect your current job but your future earning capacity. Ensure any settlement considers the long-term implications of your injury, possibly requiring vocational experts to project future losses.
