Legal Help for Your Dog Bite Injury
Dog bites are traumatic events that can result in serious injury, long-term complications, and psychological trauma. In Trinity, Florida, dog owners have a legal obligation to control their animals and prevent attacks. If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog—on a neighbor’s property, in a public park, or even in your own yard—you may be entitled to compensation under Florida’s strict liability laws.
Under Florida Statutes, a dog owner can be held financially responsible if their dog bites someone, regardless of the animal’s prior behavior. That means the victim does not have to prove the dog had a history of aggression. These claims fall under personal injury law, and compensation can cover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and disfigurement.
Common dog bite injuries include:
- Deep puncture wounds
- Nerve damage
- Infections like cellulitis or rabies
- Torn ligaments and muscle damage
- Facial lacerations and scarring
- Psychological trauma such as anxiety or PTSD
Children are especially vulnerable, both physically and emotionally. Many dog bite cases involve young children who suffer facial injuries that require surgery, counseling, and long-term care. Infections and complications can arise quickly, so immediate medical treatment is essential.
Dog bite cases can be complicated when the dog owner denies responsibility or when insurance companies try to shift the blame.
