In Ohio, specific laws govern the care and restraint of domestic pets. If an animal has injured you or a family member, you may have a valid claim against the pet's owner.

Pet owners are responsible for their pets, and are accountable in the event their pet injures a person. A person who has control or owns a vicious animal can be liable for personal injuries caused by that animal. When an animal attacks a person, the injuries can be severe. In addition to the medical expenses, physical scars, and disfigurement, the victim of such an attack may suffer emotional scarring for years.

Dog owners who take the time to responsibly own and socialize their dogs can prevent most dog bites, and owners who fail to properly socialize their dogs should be held accountable for the injuries their dogs inflict. In addition, dog owners should socialize their dogs to feel at ease around people and other animals. Since dog bites are a largely a preventable public health problem, Ohio law makes the owners and keepers of dogs strictly liable for the injuries and bites caused by their dogs.
