About Paperwork and Compensation: Ohio Dog Bite Laws
Ohio dog bite laws are some of the best in the nation. First, they state that dogs must be quarantined after an injury. This tests for rabies and establishes if a dog is "vicious." That means no one can shoot a dog after it bites someone.
Ohio dog bite laws also state that an animal owner is liable — that is to say, legally responsible for paying for — any damage caused to people or property.
If your injury requires stitches, medication, physical therapy, and an ambulance ride, those costs can add up to the thousands! Be sure you're getting the compensation you deserve! Keep track of all your medical bills and even your out-of-pocket costs like crutches, bandages, missed work, or extra child care costs while you recover from a dog bite!
Remember, the DoNotPay App is the fastest and easiest way to complain to MCRAC and demand compensation for your injury. But that's not all you can do with the app!
