Dog bites remain a common injury throughout South Florida and according to national statistics there are over five million people that are bitten by dogs each year. Even more disconcerting is that almost twelve of these attacks each year result in death. In the case of dog bite injuries it is not uncommon for victims to require extended hospital treatment and stay.
Florida legislation support a strict liability when it comes to dog bite injuries making owners liable for the injuries their dogs cause. Dog owners have a responsibility to take all reasonable precautions to prevent their animals for harming others including using leashes and not keeping dogs with a history of aggression.
