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.

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