Dog Bite FAQs
If you’ve been bitten, you’re likely dealing with more than a physical injury. Here are the questions we hear most from victims and families.
Who is responsible for a dog bite in Florida?
In most cases, the dog’s owner is legally responsible—even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Florida follows a “strict liability” rule, meaning owners can be held liable even without prior warnings or signs of aggression.
What should I do after a dog bite?
Get medical help immediately—especially if the wound breaks skin. Report the bite to local authorities and animal control. Document the scene, identify the dog and its owner, and speak with a lawyer to protect your rights before talking to insurers.
Can I still file a claim if I was on someone else’s property?
Yes. Whether the attack happened in a public space or on private property, you may still be entitled to compensation—especially if you were lawfully on the premises. We’ll assess the specifics of your situation to determine the best course of action.
What compensation can I recover for a dog bite?
You may be eligible for coverage of medical bills, psychological treatment, lost income, pain & suffering, permanent scarring, and any long-term disability. We tailor your claim to reflect both physical and emotional recovery needs.
What if the dog belonged to a friend or neighbor?
These situations can feel personal, but remember—most claims are handled through insurance. You can seek compensation without blaming the person directly, and we handle all communications to keep things respectful and low-stress.
