When it comes to dog bites, Florida law calls for strict liability. In other words, dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their pets. Heller & Heller, P.A., has offices in Coral Springs and Boca Raton and represents victims injured from dog attacks in Florida.
A dog attacked a young girl, biting her on the face. The parents asked our law firm to represent the young girl. We obtained a settlement that paid for four years of college and more, which the parents invested for the girl’s future.
Dog bite injury cases can become complex because of insurance issues. Some homeowners’ insurance policies provide exclusions for dog bites. Others do not cover bites by certain breeds of dogs. We will take care to review all potential insurance issues and isolate opportunities to get compensation.
