Dog Bite

If you or a loved one have been the victim of a dog bite, more than one person may be held liable for your injuries.

Understanding Your Rights

Under Florida statute 767.04, the owner of any dog that bites any person while such person is in a public place, or lawfully in a private place, is liable for damages, regardless if whether the owner had knowledge of the dog’s viciousness. Reach out to a Miami dog bite lawyer. In addition, if the dog bite occurs on privately- owned property, the owner may be liable if he or she knew that a dangerous dog was present but failed to warn.

Dog Bite Accident Injury Guide

Dog bites can inflict a wide range of injuries resulting in costly medical bills. Pursuant to the Florida Department of Health, an average of over 600 Floridians are hospitalized every year due to injuries sustained from a dog bite. Out of these 600 injuries, two result in death. In 2019, Florida was ranked the second-highest state in the U.S for average cost per claim due to dog bite injuries. Some of the most common injuries and damages caused by dog bites include broken bones, lacerations, traumatic brain injuries, and soft tissue injuries.

Money Damages You May Be Awarded

If you have been the victim of a dog bite injury, you may be entitled to both economic and non- economic damages.

Economy damages refer to your current out-of-pocket costs, as well as reasonably foreseeable future costs. Some examples of economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.

Non-economic damages are funds awarded to victims to compensate for the intangible negative impact of their injuries. Some examples of non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

When Must You File Your Claim?

Under Florida Law, a dog bite victim has four years from the date on which he or she sustained the injury to file a lawsuit. If a claim is never filed within the four-year window, the dog bite victim will be barred from filing suit or seeking monetary recovery for injuries sustained from the incident, which is why it is important to act quickly after a dog bite incident has occurred.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for Redemption Law Firm. From the beginning, I felt that I was in caring and capable hands. Jennifer and Evelyn were both absolutely wonderful. They were professional, compassionate, patient, and always willing to answer my questions and help me understand what was happening throughout the process. Their kindness and dedication made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and attention they gave to my case. They made me feel heard, respected, and supported, and I am very grateful for everything they did for me. I would highly recommend Redemption Law Firm to anyone looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients. Jennifer and Evelyn are truly exceptional, and I cannot thank them enough!

Speaking with Sara, Attorney Christopher, Ronaldo, and everyone who transferred my calls was always a positive experience. They were all very hopeful and reassuring throughout the process. I’ll admit I was a bit impatient at times and probably made things a little complicated, but Sara always remained respectful, patient, and professional. Attorney Christopher consistently took the time to explain each step of the process, and the entire team always guided me in the right direction. I highly recommend this law firm and am very grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such a professional and caring team. I truly appreciate how they worked with me throughout the entire process. Thank you again, Redemption Law! Especially Sara great work👍🏼

I cannot recommend Redemption Law highly enough! After my car accident, I was overwhelmed trying to navigate everything while caring for my three children. From the very beginning, the entire team treated me with kindness, compassion, and professionalism, making an incredibly difficult time so much easier. I especially want to recognize Jennifer. She was my main point of contact throughout the process, and I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for her. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and made sure I understood everything that was happening with my case. What meant the most to me, though, was that she cared about me as a person—not just as a client. There were many times she listened when I was struggling personally and offered genuine advice and encouragement. Her kindness, patience, and compassion made such a difference during one of the hardest times in my life, and I will never forget it. I also want to thank Evelyn for all of her help and support. She was always professional, friendly, and willing to assist whenever needed. Together, they made an amazing team. If you’re looking for a personal injury law firm that truly cares about its clients, Redemption Law is the place to go. They don’t just handle your case—they treat you with respect, empathy, and compassion every step of the way. Thank you to everyone at Redemption Law, and especially to Jennifer, for everything you did for me and my children. I will always be grateful.
