Insurance won't cover Ohio dog bite injuries | Toledo, Ohio dog bite lawyer

Who: Ohio pit bull bite lawyers

What: Does homeowners insurance cover Ohio pit bull dog bites?

Where: Toledo, Ohio

In light of the recent news coverage on Ohio dog bites and the adoption of pit bull puppies from the Lucas County Dog Warden's office, our Toledo, Ohio dog bite lawyers have spoken with different insurance agents to find out if homeowners' policies would cover a victim in the event of an Ohio pit bull dog bite injury.

It is very difficult to find an insurance company that would write a policy to cover a pit bull living in the home. That means that if that pit bull were to bite someone, the insurance policy would not cover their injuries.

That is why our Ohio dog bite lawyers believe that it is a bad idea to have pit bulls in the home, and also not a good idea for the county to allow the pit bulls puppies to be adopted out. Pit bulls are inherently dangerous, and the statistics that back it up are just as scary. Ohio state law deems pit bulls and pit bull mixes as "vicious," and according to the Toledo Lucas County Health Department, out of the 380 dog bites that occurred in 2009 through November 8th, 65 of the bites were from pit bulls - the highest number from one type of breed.
