What we handle
Most homeowners' and renters' insurance policies cover dog bites — but only if the case is presented correctly. Insurance carriers regularly try to argue 'the dog was provoked' or 'the homeowner had no notice.' In strict-liability states like Ohio, those defenses largely don't apply. We make sure the law gets enforced, not the carrier's preferred narrative.
Case types
- Dog bites — neighbors, strangers, off-leash incidents
- Attacks on children (often higher-value cases)
- Postal worker, delivery driver, and trespasser exceptions
- Multi-animal household cases
- Animal attacks at parks, businesses, and rentals
- Cases involving aggressive breeds and prior complaints
- Scarring, nerve damage, and reconstructive surgery claims
Strict
Liability standard
Ohio (ORC § 955.28) holds owners strictly liable for dog bites — no need to prove the animal had a history of aggression.
Children's cases are particularly important to handle right. Settlements involving minors generally need court approval and structured payouts. We've seen too many minors' cases settle low because a firm just wanted the file closed. We don't.

What People Are Saying
Dog bite & animal attack FAQs
The questions we hear most from dog bite & animal attack clients in the first call. Still have more? The free case review answers them.
In Ohio and most states, no. Dog bite law is strict-liability — the owner is responsible whether or not the dog had ever shown aggression before. The 'one-bite rule' is a myth in modern Ohio law (ORC § 955.28).
