Tip #9 to maximize your recovery after an Ohio dog bite: Don’t exaggerate the impact of your injury.

You're entering a world you likely didn't know existed. As we've said earlier in this book, insurance companies prosper by paying dog-bite victims as little as possible.  In an effort to do that, they'll resort to what you may regard as underhanded behavior. They may hire a private investigator to spy on you, they may have someone engage you in conversation about your injuries, or they may videotape you as you go about your day.

We know of one case - fortunately not one of ours - where an insurance company investigator placed a video camera in a gym bag to record a supposedly injured accident victim teaching an aerobics class. Needless to say, the attorney handling that case dumped it immediately - and should have. People like that aerobics instructor give insurance companies reason to be skeptical. The problem is they seem to be skeptical of everyone, even people with legitimate claims.

So, simply be honest. Don't play games when it comes to dealing with your dog-bite case.
