Who is Responsible for a Dog Bite?

Florida dog bite laws hold a dog owner strictly liable for any damages from a dog bite, regardless if they knew the dog was dangerous or not. This means that, in most cases, the injury victim is entitled to compensation for their injuries, as long as they are able to prove the dog bit them and they sustained injuries as a result.

Exceptions to this rule include a victim who was trespassing or provoking an animal, or if signs were posted warning about a dangerous dog. In these situations, the owner’s percentage of liability will be decreased or removed entirely.

Dog owners are not the only ones who can be held liable for a dog bite. If a landlord is aware of a potentially dangerous dog on the premises, they may be held liable for a dog bite because they have a duty of care to protect all tenants from harm.

Our West Palm Beach dog bite lawyers understand the intricacies often associated with dog bite cases. We will fully investigate your claim, determine who should be held liable, build a strong case on your behalf and help you get you the compensation you deserve.

Dog Bite Injuries

Although anyone can suffer from a dog bite, children and the elderly are especially susceptible to suffering serious and life-threatening injuries from an attack.

The elderly are often frailer than younger people and can easily suffer broken arms, wrists, hips or other bones. Children, mostly because of their height, are most vulnerable to injuries to the head, neck and throat, which can lead to severe injuries and permanent disfigurement.

Some of the most common dog bite injuries our attorneys have witnessed include:

  • Lacerations
  • Scratches
  • Broken bones
  • Concussion
  • Facial injuries
  • Dislocations
  • Contusions
  • Infection (Rabies)
  • Psychological damage
  • Permanent scarring

Tragically, victims of a dog bite attack are often left with life-changing injuries at no fault of their own. As a bite victim, you should seek legal advice immediately – the longer you delay, the less chance you have to recover compensation after being the victim of a dog bite.
