Florida Law on Dog Bites
Under Florida Statute § 767.04, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries their animals cause, even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. The victim does not need to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. However, liability can become more complex depending on where the attack occurred, whether warning signs were posted, and if the victim’s actions contributed in any way.
A knowledgeable dog bite attorney from our team will evaluate the circumstances of your case, determine liability, and aggressively pursue every available path to compensation.
