Aggressive Representation for Dog Attack Victims

The American Pet Products Association’s 2019-2020 Pet Owners Survey revealed that approximately 63 million households in the U.S. own dogs. Dogs may be considered "man's best friend," but not every canine is cordial and cuddly. When negligent pet owners don't properly train or take care of their dogs, bad behavior can become dangerous. The CDC reports that dogs bite roughly 4.5 million people every year; of those bites, 800,000 require medical attention.

Are unneutered dogs more aggressive?

Typically, yes. According to the ASPCA, dogs that have not been neutered/spayed are 2.6 times more likely to bite compared to their neutered/spayed counterparts.
Am I eligible for compensation if my neighbor’s dog attacks me on my own property?

Ohio is a "strict liability" state, which means that regardless of where the attack took place, the dog’s owner or keeper is liable for injuries or damages caused by the dog.
Am I eligible for compensation if a dog bites me on the owner's property?

This depends on the situation. If you were trespassing or committing another criminal offense, or if the dog was being tormented or abused when the attack occurred, the owner is not liable for any injuries caused by the dog.
