Dog Bites &
Animal Attacks
If you or a loved one suffered a dog bite or an attack by another animal, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. Under Ohio law, the owner of the dog can be held liable for medical expenses related to the attack, as long the attack was not provoked.
Insider Knowledge. Outstanding Results.
I am attorney Kevin Sandel. I represent people injured in all types of dog bite and animal attack cases. If you hire me, you owe me no money upfront to represent you, nor will you get a monthly bill from me. I get paid on a contingency fee basis, which essentially means I don’t get paid unless you get paid. I can even assist you with the vehicle damage portion of your case at no cost.
As a former insurance company claims adjuster and attorney, I have insider knowledge that will lead to outstanding results for you and your case.
At Sandel Law Firm, you will be personally represented by the managing partner of the firm. Your initial consultation is always free, whether that is at my Akron office, your home or another convenient location. During your free, in-person consultation, I will take the time to answer your questions and explain your rights at no cost and with no obligation.
DOG BITES & ANIMAL ATTACKS
Here is some important information to consider:
After seeking the initial medical attention for the claim, continue all prescribed treatment and attend any follow-up appointments.
Whether you have a claim will mostly depend on who owned the dog. Do they have homeowners’ insurance? If a person gets bit by a stray dog, there is no owner, and therefore, no insurance to cover the cost of the claim.
Do not talk with the owner about the possibility of a claim.
Remember that your health or the health of your loved one is the most important after an injury.
Contact our firm and speak to an attorney as soon as possible. Ohio has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, but that doesn’t mean you should wait that long. We can help guide you through the process and ensure you are doing everything possible to recover and get the best possible results given the circumstances of the case.
