Animal & Dog Bites
More than 4.7 million people in the United States are bitten by dogs every year. Nearly one out of every six bites are serious enough to require medical attention. Under Florida's "Dog Bite Statute," owners of dogs are responsible when bites or attacks occur. If you have been injured in the Northeast Florida area, including Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach or in the areas around Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, and Clay counties, and have you suffered injuries after being bitten or attacked by a dog or another animal, it is important to know your legal rights.
Your ability to recover compensation depends on where you were bitten or attacked, as laws concerning animal and dog bites vary between states, counties and cities. Lawyers in our firm can assist you in determining your rights under these various laws, as well as help with insurance claims and requests for compensation.
