Pit bull dog bites dangerous | Ohio dog bite lawyers

Our Toledo, 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" - that is why insurance company denies coverage.

The politicians who are trying to promote the rights of pit bulls are not living in the real world. People bit by pit bulls are victims twice:

1. They suffer serious physical and emotional injuries.

 
2. They are denied the right to seek compensation due to lack of insurance coverage.

 
We want people to know what type of impact on the community this policy is going to bring. We are just trying to protect the community and make them aware of the fact that if they are bitten by a pit bull, they are out of luck when it comes to compensation.
