A dog attack attorney in Columbus, Ohio, can give you the insight you need to make ideal legal decisions based on your individual dog bite case. Hiring an attorney can help you get the most financial compensation, and research has proven that using an attorney gets people more money and improved outcomes.<\/p>\n
An attorney can help you determine the nature of your case. For example, some cases may be strict liability cases, meaning that the owner of the dog doesn\u2019t have to be aware of the dog\u2019s potential to bite for you to get damages. Another option is a negligence case, which requires you to prove that the owner was negligent in that they know the dog may act aggressively, such as the dog biting someone before.<\/p>\n
If you have any damages\u2014financial, emotional, or physical\u2014 contacting an attorney can help you understand your options before the statute of limitations runs out. Swift legal actions can make your case stronger and help you get the results you want.<\/p>\n
Owners are the main group of people who are held responsible for dog attacks. However, they are not the only ones who may be accountable. Other keepers of the dog may also be liable. For example, if someone is walking their friend\u2019s dog at the time of the attack, they may be responsible as a keeper of the dog. Another type of person who may be responsible for a dog attack in Ohio is a harborer, which is a person who may have a stray dog living on the property that they may not own, but they may give food to or temporary shelter.<\/p>\n
Once your medical needs are taken care of, it\u2019s a good choice to contact a lawyer. You\u2019ll also want to ensure that you keep all records of the bites. Taking pictures, compiling medical files, and keeping other reports can help you maintain evidence and ensure that nothing gets lost. Calling the police at the time of the attack can also ensure that you have appropriate records.<\/p>\n
The answer to this question depends on your losses. While you may be looking at this question in financial terms, you also have to look at the other costs of legal actions. Assuming the payout is there, it\u2019s also important to consider the emotional side of the process and how legal action may impact you. We can guide you through these concerns, and in some cases, we can ease your burden through settlements over trials. If you\u2019re hesitant and unsure if your case is worth it, we can help you understand the facts and your likelihood of desired outcomes.<\/p>\n
A dog injury can be worth a significant amount of money when cases are either brought to court or settled outside of court. Yet, there is no easy way to tell what the results may be.<\/p>\n
