Dog Bite Laws in Florida
Florida is a strict liability state, meaning that the owner of the dog that attacked you has total legal responsibility for the incident, unless they can prove that you were partially responsible for the attack due to provocation. If this is not established, then you don’t have to prove liability; it is assumed. An attorney can help you make sure that you get the compensation you are owed.
After a dog bite, consider these tips to strengthen your case:
- Get medical attention & keep track of injuries
- Take photos of the dog & the dog’s home
- Take pictures of any dog warning signs present
- Secure video of dog running loose, if this was the case
- Report the dog bite to the police
Once the police are involved, they will file a report and often contact animal control. Animal control will file a report as well. Retain as much evidence as possible after a dog attack in order to strengthen your case.
