Dog BitesAccording to the Center for Disease Control, “Man and woman's best friend bites more than 4.7 million people a year. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; half of these are children. Of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department and about a dozen die.” Dog bite cases in Ohio and other states are “strict liability” claims, meaning an owner is almost always responsible for the damage their dog causes (one exception is when a dog defends itself against being teased or tormented.) The practical difficulty with these claims is finding money to satisfy the damages. If the dog owner is insured, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Blake R. Maislin LLC can negotiate with the insurance company to enforce your legal rights as a dog bite victim. If the dog owner is uninsured, underinsured (for example, “vicious dogs” like a pit bull can be specifically excluded under home owners policies) or acted with malice, we can help you assert your legal rights.
