Legal Issues

When a dog attacks an individual other than its owner, it causes to danger to that person, as well as others in the future. It is most often the owners fault if their dog bites or attacks someone else and causes injury. The responsibility of a dog owner is to properly train their animal and prevent any harm to others.

If a dog with past history of biting or attacking other individuals, and it then attacks you, there is a serious issue. If the owner knew that their dog was a threat, they should have taken measures to prevent any future incidences.

Unique Dangers Faced by Bicyclists

It can be extremely frightening to have a dog chase you as your ride a bicycle. First, the fear of falling off of the bike at high speeds, and secondly, the dog themselves can bite and attack you, causing further injuries.

These incidents can often result in injuries to whoever is on the bicycle, including broken bones, trauma to the head, and the danger and injuries that the dog brings to the victim as well.

Dogs should not be unleashed and able to run wild through streets, neighborhoods, or parks. It is the responsibility of the owner to keep their dog under control. If owners fail to control their dogs, and the result is harm to another individual, they may be held liable under Ohio law.
