Our lawyers at The Law Office of Weisser & Wolf have been helping our personal injury clients recover compensation and damages for injuries suffered because of someone else's negligence or wrongdoing for 20 years. We have seen the sometimes devastating effects of dog bite injuries.

Ohio's Strict Owner Liability
Some people believe that the first bite is free; that owners are only liable for damages if they have a dangerous dog with a history of aggressive behavior. This is wrong.
In Ohio, the law does not provide any leeway for a dog bite injury, and a dog owner is strictly liable for the conduct of his or her dog. Oftentimes the dog owners’ homeowner insurance will cover a dog bite claim.
If you have suffered a dog bite, then you have the option of pursuing a personal injury claim. We can help. Contact our office to discuss your options today.
