FAQ

    Why Should I Hire a Winter Haven Dog Bite Attorney?

    In Florida, the claims process for recovering compensation for damages inflicted by a dog bite is generally straightforward; however, depending on the details of your claim, certain complications may arise. It is important that you hire a Winter Haven dog bite attorney with experience successfully navigating these types of cases. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling dog bite cases and, in handling your claim, will investigate the incident by evaluating:

    • Your involvement in the event;
    • The dog’s behavior and previous history of attacks;
    • The location of the attack;
    • If any warning signs were posted; and
    • The owner’s compliance with the law.

      Your attorney’s investigation can help to reduce the impact of any allegations suggesting you were partly at fault for the bite and resulting injury. The attorneys in our Winter Haven office are proficient and thorough investigators, and though past success cannot guarantee future results, we have a history of building successful claims on behalf of their clients.

    Liability

    Liability is not strictly limited to the dog’s owner. If a landlord has knowledge that a tenant has a dog on the premises, they may also be liable for the dog’s actions. If they are aware of a dangerous dog on the premises, they owe other tenants a duty of care to protect them from harm.

    What Can I Recover After a Dog Bite Attack?

    If you have been injured by a dog bite, you may be entitled to recover compensation for present and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, veterinary bills, and property damage.
