Dog Bites
Why Are Some Dog Breeds More Dangerous Than Others?
Being bitten by a dog is a terrifying experience. And it’s even worse when it happens to someone you love. Unfortunately, small children are the most likely victims of dog attacks.
Do “Beware of Dog” Signs Affect Dog Bite Liability in Ohio?
Ohio is a strict liability state, meaning that if you were bitten by a dog, resulting in injuries, the dog’s owner may be held liable. Even if the property owner posted a “Beware of Dog” sign for potential visitors or trespassers to see, this generally would not shield them from liability. In some cases, a warning sign may even suggest that the owner was aware of their dog’s propensity for violent attacks.
