Dog Bites in Florida
Strict Liability

Having a strange dog attack you is a horrible experience.  Especially if the dog is capable of causing a lot of damage.  Even worse is when a friend's dog attacks.  Dog bites can cause very serious injuries.  Not only is there tissue damage, sometimes broken bones, and always concern for transmission of disease.  All of these physical injuries weigh heavy and the psychological injuries can run even deeper.

Bad Dog Bites

A dog can only be a dog. An owner has a duty to make sure his or her dog does not bite someone else.  An owner is charged with a strict liability duty to (1) know his dog and (2) protect others from his dog. There is no liability thrust upon the dog - it lies entirely with the dog's owner.  Home owners insurance covers dog-bite injuries typically.
