Fort Lauderdale Dog Bite Attorney

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.

How Are Florida Dog Bite Cases Resolved?

The laws concerning dog attacks in Florida can be confusing and hard to understand. Every case is different with its own set of facts and circumstances. In general, however, your case will eventually be resolved through an insurance claim against the dog owner. Dealing with an insurance company can be difficult and frustrating. Certain actions will need to be taken to help increase your chances of winning. We know the laws, the rules of the game, and how to deal with insurance company tactics. That’s why we’re here and why you will stand a much better chance at obtaining the compensation you deserve when you bring your case to us. We take all these factors and apply our hard-earned knowhow and persistence on your behalf so that you are relieved of stress, confusion, and frustration. Our aim is to get you the best result through hard work, focus, and tenacity.

A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.

In general, dog owners are responsible for damages to anyone who is harmed by their animal. If you were bitten by a dog in a public area or on private property when lawfully allowed to be there, you may be owed compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering. Other legal factors may apply to the case, as determined under Florida law. At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we can review your situation so as to advise you on all of the factors and options that apply as well as what steps need to be taken to increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

Proven Personal Injury Lawyers

A fair settlement is not what you can expect to receive from the insurance company. Their goal is to reduce payouts on claims so they can remain highly profitable. Our proven and committed legal team understands the tactics these companies regularly use to pay claimants as little as possible. We routinely battle their schemes in and out of court, and have developed effective methods for doing so.

With a legal team of more than 30 lawyers and more than 140 staff, including investigators and other assistants, we have the resources needed to get the job done efficiently. You can bring your personal injury case to us with confidence, knowing you will pay nothing until we recover the compensation you deserve. Throughout the entire case, we will be by your side, providing the guidance you need.
