Experienced Florida Animal Bites Lawyer

With over 30 years of experience handling dog bite injuries, I understand the shock and trauma associated with a dog attack. Whether a postal worker has been bitten, a child has been mauled, or a dog attack occurred on commercial premises, I have the experience necessary to navigate this area. If you were attacked by a dog, seek medical attention immediately to avoid further injury and infection. Then call my office and we will handle it from there.

Are Pet Owners Always Liable?

Florida follows a “strict liability” rule, which means the owner is responsible for any injuries regardless of whether they knew or should have known that their pet might bite someone. Essentially, as long as someone did not trespass on the owner’s property or harass an owner’s pet, the owner will be held liable for any injuries caused by their pet.

Victims of dog bite cases in Florida can seek economic and non-economic damages. There are also different statutory requirements for owners whose dogs have been deemed “dangerous” under the Dangerous Dog Statute. Understanding these cases and the complex legal requirements is crucial.
