My 17 year old daughter suffered a dog bite in the calf of her right leg from a large boxer that had previously biten another child. The bite required a visit to our local ER, the bite pierced a muscle. She required a staple to close the wound and antibotics to prevent the muscle from becoming infected. She has several smaller puncture wounds. My daughter was walking on the opposite side of the street, when the dog came out of his yard and attacked her. The local authories were advised as well as the dog warden.
How do I proceed to insure the medical bills are paid? Do I need an attorney? We have health insurance but I'm not sure they will cover someone else's dog biting her. We live in Ohio.
