Dog Bite Injury Attorneys In Ohio
Serving Clients in Cleveland, Chardon, Youngstown, and Lorain
Dog bites and attacks result in thousands of serious injuries every day. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 4.7 million dog bites occur annually in the United States. These incidents can cause lasting physical and emotional harm, especially when victims are children, elderly individuals, or those unable to defend themselves.
At Lowe Trial Lawyers, we want you to know: we love dogs. Many of us have dogs at home, and you’ll often find our furry friends in the office. We know that dogs are family—but we also know that owners have a legal responsibility to prevent their dogs from causing harm.
In Ohio, Revised Code Section 955.28 protects victims’ rights to recover compensation when a dog bite or attack causes injury. This includes holding dog owners or harborers accountable, even if the dog has never shown aggression before. That is because Revised Code Section 955.28 imposes strict liability upon an “owner, keeper, or harborer of a dog” for injuries to individuals. In other words, you only need to prove that a dog bite or animal attack occurred to hold the owner responsible.
Our experienced dog bite attorneys handle these cases with care, empathy, and strength. Where possible, we work directly with the dog owner’s insurance company to secure a fair settlement—reducing the stress on victims and helping them move forward with healing.
