An estimated 44 percent of all U.S. households own a dog. While often referred to as man’s best friend, every dog has the capacity to become aggressive and bite. Dog attacks can result in serious physical injuries including cuts, bruises, punctures and broken bones and leave those impacted suffering to cope with permanent scaring, disfigurement and emotional trauma.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4.5 million dog bites are reported each year.

If you or a family member is bit by a dog, the attorneys at Rothchild Law Office will review your case and take steps to help you recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Ohio is among the states that impose statutory strict liability for dog bites. This means that the dog’s owner is liable to an injured victim.
