Ohio Dog Attack Lawyers
Most of us assume that a snarling dog is dangerous and likely to bite. However, many dog bites happen seemingly out of the blue. Why? Because most people, including dog owners, cannot read canine body language. We think a wagging tail always signals a happy dog or that dogs love it when strangers pet them on the head. Neither is true, unfortunately, and this misunderstanding and owner negligence often results in dog bites.
Stein, Chapin & Associates, L.L.C., provides experienced representation for dog bite victims. We know that a dog attack is physically and emotionally traumatic for the victim. We also know that many dog owners fail to properly socialize and train their dogs, and keep them under control around other people. If their negligence resulted in your injury, our attorneys will seek compensation. For a free consultation, please call 614-360-2637 or 888-899-3586, or contact us online.
Why Dog Bites Are so Dangerous
According to the Centers for Disease Control, children, the elderly and delivery workers suffer more dog attacks than the general population. Dog attacks can cause a range of injuries, from puncture wounds and lacerations to muscle and tissue damage. Dog bite wounds are very susceptible to infection. Many dog bite victims suffer facial scarring and disfigurement that requires numerous cosmetic procedures.
Any breed of dog has the potential to bite humans and cause damage. Small dogs often bite out of fear. Large, strong dogs can break arm, hand, leg and foot bones with their jaws. A severe attack to the head and neck area can be fatal.
We can hold the dog owner liable for the attack and recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income.
