Dog Bites Can Cause Significant Injuries and Cost Thousands
Many people think of dog bites as relatively minor injuries, but this is not always the case. Even when a bite is only a small puncture wound or scrape, the costs can still add up quickly. All dog bites require medical cleaning and care because of the high risk of infection. Dogs have a lot of bacteria in their mouths and bites can quickly get infected without prompt, proper care.
More serious injuries that often occur as a result of a dog attack include:
- Puncture wounds
- Ripped soft tissues including, muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Broken bones
- Infection
- Amputation
- Scarring, often on the hands or face
- Emotional and mental damages
Some dog bite injuries require ongoing or future care, including plastic surgery to remove scar tissue and scarring. The trauma of the experience can also cause anxiety, nightmares, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We must consider all these costs when calculating your expenses related to the incident.

Understanding Ohio’s Statute of Limitations on Dog Bite Cases
Ohio state law generally gives us six years from the date of the bite to take legal action. However, if the bite injures a child, they have six years from the date they turn 18 to file a case in civil court. After that time expires, you could lose your right to pursue compensation in court. This could mean you cannot recover the payout you need to cover your medical care costs, lost wages, and other expenses. We want to help you avoid this situation.
Reach out to our team as soon as possible after suffering dog bite injuries. This allows us to go to work investigating your case quickly before evidence is lost or destroyed.
