Dogs may be loyal companions, but sometimes, even the friendliest-looking dog can cause serious harm. If you or your child has been bitten or attacked by a dog in Florida, you may be dealing with more than just physical pain. Medical bills, emotional trauma, missed work, and scarring can follow you for months—or even years.
Don’t suffer in silence.
At the DeWitt Law Firm, we help injured Floridians hold negligent dog owners accountable and fight for the compensation they deserve. Florida law protects victims of dog bites, and we make sure it protects you.
Florida is a strict liability state when it comes to dog bites. That means:
If a dog bites you in a public place or while you’re lawfully on private property, the owner is automatically liable—even if the dog had never shown aggression before.
In other words:
No “one free bite.” No “he’s never done this before” defense. If the bite happened under the law, the owner is responsible.
Whether the bite happened at a private home or in a public space, your injuries and your case matter.
Dog attacks don’t just hurt—they can leave lasting physical and emotional damage, especially for children. Some common injuries include:
We’ve spent over two decades standing up for injury victims across Florida, and we don’t back down. Dog bite cases can be sensitive, especially if the owner is someone you know or if the insurance company starts making excuses. That’s where we come in.
We know the statutes, defenses, and loopholes insurance companies use—and we block every one of them.
We approach your case with compassion, but negotiate with relentless determination. You’ll never feel like just another claim.
You pay us nothing unless we win your case. No risk. No pressure. Just real legal help when you need it most.
Yes. Florida law only requires helmets for riders under 21 or those without qualifying insurance. Even if you weren’t wearing one, you can still file a claim. Your compensation may be affected, but it won’t disqualify you.
Let us investigate. Drivers often blame riders, but dashcams, traffic cameras, accident reconstruction, and witness statements can prove otherwise. Never assume fault until we’ve looked at your case.
Possibly. Unlike car drivers, motorcyclists are exempt from Florida’s no-fault PIP insurance, which means your path to compensation can vary. We’ll sort through your policies and maximize your recovery.
That depends on your injuries, damages, and how the crash has impacted your life. Some cases settle for thousands, others for millions. We’ll evaluate your claim thoroughly and fight for every dollar you deserve.
