Florida Law Strongly Protects Dog Bite Victims

Florida is a strict liability state (Fla. Stat. § 767.04). That means the dog’s owner can be held responsible for your bite injuries even if the dog never bit anyone before and even if the owner didn't know the dog was dangerous.

In Florida, you generally have 2 years from the date of the bite to file a lawsuit. However, it's always better to start preparing as soon as possible after the bite, even if your deadline is years away.

You May Be Owed More Than Your Medical Bills

Compensation in Florida may cover much more than medical expenses, including lost income, pain and suffering, and permanent scarring.

Medical Bills

Hospital visits, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, future treatment costs.

Lost Income

Lost wages, reduced earning capacity, time away from work.

Pain & Suffering

Physical pain, emotional distress, reduced quality of life.

Lasting Injuries

Permanent scarring and other lasting physical injuries.

The Owner Usually Doesn't Pay – Their Insurance Does

Most dog bite settlements in Florida are paid by the owner’s homeowners or renters insurance – not out of their pocket.

If the dog belongs to a neighbor, friend, or landlord: pursuing your claim usually means dealing with an insurance company, not suing someone you know personally.

Common Questions After A Dog Bite

Do I really need a lawyer for a Florida dog bite?

You're not required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies handle dog bite claims every day, and having experienced legal representation can significantly improve your chances of recovering fair compensation. Our free case review is an easy way to better understand your situation and whether it may be worth speaking with a lawyer.

How much does it cost?

Nothing upfront, ever. Your case review is completely free. If you're connected with a lawyer, they typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning their fee is a percentage of the compensation they recover for you. If they don't recover compensation, you don't pay any legal fees.

How long do I have to file a dog bite claim in Florida?

In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the dog bite to file a claim. However, it's best to act as soon as possible as it gives your lawyer a better opportunity to gather evidence and build your case. Start your free case review now.

What if the dog never bit anyone before?

Usually, it doesn't matter. Florida follows a strict liability rule, meaning dog owners can be held responsible even if the dog had no history of aggression. Our free case review is the easiest way to check if your injury qualifies for compensation.

What if the dog belongs to a friend, family member, or neighbour?

Many people worry about this. In most cases, you're making a claim against the dog owner's homeowners or renters insurance – not against them personally. These insurance policies are designed to cover situations like this, and many claims are resolved through a settlement without a lawsuit ever being filed. You can start by using our free case review to better understand your situation.

What evidence do I need?

Photos of your injuries, medical records, the dog owner's details, and any witness information can all help support your claim. Don't worry if you don't have everything – start your free case review, and your lawyer can help gather the evidence that matters.

What happens after the 60-second review?

If your case qualifies, we'll connect you with an experienced Florida dog bite lawyer for a free consultation. If it doesn't qualify, we'll let you know honestly – at no cost. Start your free case review now.
