Florida Dog Bite Attorney

Animal ownership can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Many times, though, the danger surrounding pets and other animals is generally forgotten.

Dog bites and attacks have become a common occurrence, and dog owners need to be held accountable for not providing a healthy and safe environment for others who must be around their animals.

Some facts about dog bites:

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States seeks medical attention for a dog bite related injury.
It is estimated for every dog bite that is reported, three go unreported.
Nationwide, as many as one million people annually require medical treatment for dog bites.
More than 334,000 victims end up in the emergency room.
More than 4.7 million people, or 2% of the U.S. population, are bitten by dogs each year.
More than half of all the dog bite victims are children.
National figures estimate that 60% of dog-bite attacks happen in the home, either by the family or a friend's dog.

Injuries can be as simple as a small scratch, disfiguring scars or death. Many times animal owners feel that they are without responsibility even though they are caring for potentially dangerous animals. We can help you fight for your rights and to make dog and animal owners accountable for the injuries caused by their animal.
