Home insurance dog bite
dog bite attorney Ohio Aug 5, 2026
Location: Ohio September 2025 an Amazon driver was bitten by my dog, treated by paramedics refused medical, non-English speaker, never reported to health dept. FF to March of this year someone called, gave her name and atty she worked for clients name and asked if I had homeowners insurance. I didn’t answer, hung up and called my ins agent. Two wks later a letter asking for my homeowners insurance information, called agent who then took over. FF to last week I find out our coverage has been dropped due to dog bite, case still open. I’m trying to find another insurance company but am being told no one will insure us for liability because of the dog bite case being open. I guess the statute of limitations in Ohio is 100+ days after filing. The problem is I’m severely disabled and may need home care in the future. I never have and have a spouse who helps with most things but you never know. So I’m terrified of having no liability for a worker who comes in. And yes, workers comp could fill this gap but you just never know. Is there a way to compel this atty to close the case sooner? No I don’t have an atty and can’t really afford much as we’re both retired on a fixed income. Thank in advance for the help.
