When a Dog Attacks,

We Strike Back

Accountability for Attacks
Advocacy for Victims

Dog attacks can leave lasting physical and emotional scars. Whether it’s a severe bite, infection, or long-term trauma, victims often face medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing treatment. Under Florida law, dog owners are held strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets—even if the dog has never shown aggression before.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is liable if a dog bites me in Florida?

    Florida follows strict liability laws when it comes to dog bites. This means that dog owners are responsible for any injuries their dog causes, regardless of whether the dog has a history of aggression.

  • What types of damages can I recover after a dog bite?

    Victims of dog bites may be entitled to compensation for:


    • Medical Expenses – Including emergency care, surgeries, and ongoing treatment.
    • Lost Wages – For time missed from work during recovery.
    • Pain & Suffering – For physical pain and emotional trauma caused by the attack.
    • Rehabilitation Costs – For long-term physical therapy or psychological counseling.

  • What if I was partially at fault for the attack?

    Even if you were partially at fault, Florida’s comparative negligence laws may allow you to recover compensation. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • Can I sue the dog owner if I was bitten on their property?

    Yes. Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe, and if their negligence resulted in your injury, you may be able to file a premises liability claim in addition to a dog bite claim.
