Dog Bite Injury Lawyer Fighting for Full Compensation in Manatee County

According to the Florida Statutes §767.04, Florida law makes it clear that the owner of any dog that bites another person while they are on public property, or lawfully on private property, is liable for the damages a victim suffered. Although the law mandates strict liability, this does not mean that injured victims will be automatically awarded fair compensation. In fact, many pet and dog owners, as well as their insurance providers, will work to deflect claims of liability and do whatever they can to pay victims as little as possible.

By having an experienced and dedicated dog bite attorney on your side of the courtroom, you can ensure that the efforts or impersonal insurance corporations are negated and that you have the best possible chance for obtaining the compensation you require.

What We Can
Do for You

No matter what the cause of your accident may be, you can be sure that our legal team will work without rest until we reach the best outcome possible. Although we tailor our strategies to each unique case and client, it is imperative in any dog bite injury that investigations begin as soon as possible. Information, evidence, and memories all get lost, misplaced, or forgotten with the passage of time. The sooner we can investigate the circumstances of your particular case, the better.
