Being attacked by an animal, or bitten by a dog, can be a horrifying and debilitating experience. Often, animal attacks occur suddenly and the victim becomes stunned and has no time to prevent or minimize the attack. If you or a loved were attacked and injured by an animal in Ohio, you may be entitled to compensation. It is incredibly important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney about handling a dog bite claim. Animal owners in Ohio are strictly liable for their pets’ actions. This means that if you were bitten, you do not have to prove that the owner was negligent.

At Karp Steiger, our team of dedicated attorneys will thoroughly investigate the facts surrounding the dog bite to determine if additional parties may be at fault, such as a kennel, animal sitter, property owner, or landlord. We will leave no stone unturned in determining what party is at fault and will vigorously advocate for our clients to ensure a just result and adequate compensation. Our personal injury lawyers truly and fully understand the serious impact these injuries can have on all individuals.

Many times, animal attacks and dog bites require reconstructive surgery, scar care and prevention, other types of plastic surgeries, and potential treatment for rabies or other diseases. Pursuing treatment and medical care following an animal attack can be expensive, time consuming, and embarrassing for the victim of the attack. Let the attorneys at Karp Steiger assist you if you have been attacked by an animal. We offer free case consultations which can be arranged by phone at 216-358-OHIO
