Florida statutes §767.01 and §767.04 impose strict liability upon the owner of a dog for injuries the dog causes to people; other domestic animals such as dogs, cats, and birds; and even live stock like cows, horses, chickens, and pigs. All too often the evening news reminds us of just how dangerous a dog mauling can be. Dog bites, attacks, or mauling can cause serious injuries due to the viciousness of the attack, puncture wounds, secondary infection, and injuries sustained while trying to escape the attack. Our dog bite lawyers are experienced in handling dog attacks.
Landlords can be liable for
a dog attacks that occur on
their premises or property.
Florida law imposes a duty upon landlords to protect tenants and others on their premises where the landlord knows there is a vicious dog on their property. Many
apartment leases do not allow tenants to possess a Pit-bull, Rottweiler, German shepherd, Doberman, or other large canines in the apartment. The
lease may also impose size and weight restrictions on any type of dog. Unfortunately, many landlords do not enforce these restrictions and allow the tenant to
keep dangerous dogs on their premises. Little children are often the innocent target of vicious dog attacks. If you or a family member were
attacked by a dog while at an apartment complex or rented home, call our Florida dog bite attorney to recover compensation for your medical bills,
lost time from work, scarring, disfigurement, pain and suffering.
In some instances, Florida law imposes liability upon landlords
for dog attacks that occurred on adjacent property. For example,
if a landlord advertises an adjacent park as an amenity to attract
new tenants, it can be liable for dog bites that occur on that
property. If you were bitten by a dog at a park next to an apartment
complex, contact our dog attack lawyer at (407) 999-0045 or Toll
