According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), every year close to 4.5 million people are attacked by dogs. Children are victims in half of these attacks. One out of five attacks is serious enough to warrant medical attention. Dog bites can result not only in minor and major wounds but broken bones and teeth, concussions, and internal injuries. The CDC states that reconstructive surgery was needed for more than 27,000 victims who suffered dog bite injuries in 2012. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog in or around Fort Lauderdale, you may be protected by Florida state law.

In general, dog owners are responsible for damages to anyone who is harmed by their animal.
