Injuries From Animals, Including Dog Bites
Florida Law provides that the owner of a dog is strictly liable for the injuries caused by a dog’s bite. Hence, the State of Florida has decided that an owner is responsible for what a dog does even if the person “had no idea” that the dog was vicious. In Florida, many cities and counties have “leash laws.” If you are injured because a homeowner’s failure to leash their dog, call us to explain your rights.
