Ft. Lauderdale Dog Bite Attorney

South Florida Dog Bite Lawyer

Many Floridians keep dogs as pets and companions.  While many dogs appear harmless, there is always an unknown factor that must be considered with animals in general.  Even if the owner of a dog is certain that the animal would never bite, claw, maul or attack a human, the fact is that an accident can still happen if the dog is confused, scared, angry, hurt or simply playing too roughly.  Evidence of this is the fact that hundreds of thousands of children and adults are treated in hospital emergency rooms for dog bite wounds every year in the United States. 

If you or your child has been injured by another person’s dog, the owner is always held liable for all medical costs resulting from the injury.  In the case of a dog biting a small child, the most common area bitten is the mouth, cheek and delicate eye area.  These injuries can require reconstructive surgery and can even result in losing sight and nerve function in the face.  To ensure that you recover enough compensation for the injuries inflicted upon you or your child, it is important that you contact an experienced dog bite lawyer.  The attorneys at the Law Offices of Spingarn & Associates, P.A. are experienced, aggressive and always up-to-date in their fields.  With the help of a competent lawyer, you can recover damages.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog, make sure you collect all the evidence that you can.  It can be helpful if you are able to take pictures of the wounds, ripped clothes and other damage caused by the dog.  Names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses to the attack can also add to your case.  Above all, you need to make sure that you get the name and address of the owner of the animal that attacked you or your loved one to ensure that the owner is held responsible for his or her pet’s actions.
