How Common Are Dog Bites in Florida?
Dog bites are pretty common in Florida. To give you some perspective, each year, an average of two Floridians lose their lives due to injuries from dog bites. Additionally, over 600 individuals are hospitalized annually because of dog bite-related injuries.
One study found that the risk is particularly high for young children, with most dog bites (86 percent) involving children under six years old coming from dogs known to the family. More than half of these incidents occur within the home.
What To Do After a Dog Bite Incident
The steps you take after a dog bite incident should always evolve around your health and safety. Here’s what you need to know:
- Clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water.
- Seek medical attention immediately to prevent infection.
- Report the incident to local animal control or law enforcement.
- Document the incident with photos and videos.
- Identify the dog and its owner.
- Contact Morgan and Morgan for a free case evaluation.
Taking these steps promptly can help manage the immediate impact of the bite and lay the groundwork for any necessary legal action.
What Are Some Legal Grounds for Filing a Claim?
Firstly, there is the concept of duty of care, which means the dog owner had the duty to prevent their dog from causing harm. If the owner fails in this duty and their negligence leads to a dog bite, this constitutes a breach of duty. The next element is proving that the breach directly caused injuries to the victim.
Finally, as the victim, you must demonstrate the damages incurred due to the bite, which can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. If you have a viable claim, we may be able to help you determine the exact damages you can claim.
