Ohio Gives You a Limited Time to Take Legal Action in a Dog Bite Case
Under Ohio law, dog bite victims have six years from the date of the bite or attack to bring suit. However, if you’re bitten before you turn 18, you have six years from your 18th birthday in which to file. If you do not file a civil lawsuit against the owner or another liable party before this deadline, the judge will likely stop any attempts to hold the owner financially liable in court. Let us review your case and ensure you are still eligible.
We need time to investigate your case before we can take legal action, so we recommend reaching out to our team as early as possible following this type of attack. You can call us while still undergoing treatment for serious injuries, and we can meet you at the hospital or your home if necessary.
