Understanding Florida’s Dog Bite Laws

Florida operates under a ‘strict liability’ dog bite law, meaning the owner of the dog can be held liable even if the dog has never shown signs of aggression before. This applies whether the attack occurred on public property or lawfully on private property. However, the law also considers comparative negligence, where the victim’s actions contributed to the bite, potentially reducing the owner’s liability. At Lauderhill Injury & Accident Law Firm, our experienced attorneys will assess the specifics of your case and apply Florida’s dog bite laws to fight for your rightful compensation.

Injuries and Damages in Dog Bite Cases
