Re: dog bites

Your neighbor probably has the right to recover damages against you as a result of being bitten by your dog. Those damages could include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc. The exact amount of damages would depend upon the particular circumstances of the case. Also, he would have two years from the date of the incident to bring a lawsuit. It's possible that your homeowner's insurance would provide coverage. If I were you, I would definitely talk to a lawyer. Perhaps I could help. Where in Ohio are you located?
