The Seriousness of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can range from minor puncture wounds to life-altering injuries. In severe cases, victims may require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, physical therapy, and psychological counseling. Common injuries from dog attacks include:

• Lacerations and puncture wounds
• Nerve damage
• Infections, such as rabies or cellulitis
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Beyond the physical and emotional toll, dog bite victims often face significant financial burdens. Medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing rehabilitation costs can quickly add up, making it essential to seek legal assistance to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Florida Dog Bite Laws: Protecting Victims

Florida operates under a strict liability law for dog bite cases. This means that a dog owner can be held liable for injuries caused by their dog, regardless of whether the dog had a history of aggression. Unlike some other states, Florida does not require victims to prove that the owner knew the dog was dangerous.

However, certain factors may affect a dog bite claim, such as:

• Whether the victim was lawfully on the property
• Whether the victim provoked the dog
• Whether the dog was properly restrained or fenced

At Pittman Law Firm, P.L., we thoroughly investigate every case to ensure that all liable parties are held accountable.
