Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bite injuries can be physically and emotionally devastating.

In Florida, the owner of the dog may be held strictly liable. Therefore, if you, or your loved ones, have been the victim of an unprovoked attack from a dog that result in dog bite injuries, you may be entitled to receive compensation for the injuries you've suffered.

Notwithstanding, Florida recognizes several exceptions to the strict liability rule, among which is:

• The dog was provoked
• "Beware of Dog" sign was present

Many people suffer from unprovoked dog bites serious enough to require an emergency room visit.

• Nerve damage
• disfigurement
• emotional sufferings

These are just a few of the types of injuries in which the dog bite victim may be compensated for. In addition to the injuries, the victim often finds himself having to pay a huge amount of medical bills.

FYI On Dog Bite Injuries and Florida Law

Did you know that even if you were warned not to pet or touch a dog but yet do so and the dog bites you, the owner of the dog is still responsible for the injuries. The compensation amount would be lower but they are still responsible.
