Each year, nearly 5 million people in the United States experience dog bites. While some injuries are minor, others can be severe and traumatic, leading to lifelong scarring, disfigurement, or emotional distress.
Dog Owners Are Responsible
Florida law holds pet owners responsible for injuries caused by their dogs. However, exceptions exist, and you cannot always rely on dog owners to come forward and offer compensation willingly.
If a dog has bitten you and you need to know if legal action is the right path, reach out to The Fighter Law Firm. Our Florida dog bite attorney offers complimentary case reviews and can recommend the best course of action.
When to Consider a Dog Bite Case
Not every dog bite incident leads to a lawsuit, nor should it. However, pursuing legal action is sometimes necessary to protect your rights and well-being. Severe injuries and significant medical expenses can leave you needing financial support to manage the aftermath.
Even if your injuries aren’t extreme, taking legal action may still be crucial if the dog owner has a history of negligence in similar incidents. This step can protect you and others from future attacks.
If an injury has impacted your life with substantial medical bills, lost income, long-term or future medical expenses, or debilitating consequences, you have the right to seek compensation. This includes injuries resulting from dog bites.
If any of these situations sound familiar, contact Fighter Law to speak with a personal injury attorney experienced in dog bite cases.
