Florida Law
Understanding Florida's Dog Bite Laws
Florida operates under a strict liability law for dog bites, meaning that the owner of the dog is liable for injuries caused, regardless of the dog's past behavior or the owner's knowledge of aggression. This straightforward law empowers victims, but legal intricacies can still arise — necessitating professional legal assistance.
