Physical and Mental Injuries from a Dog Bite
Caring for a pet requires responsibility by the owner and restraint of the animal. There are Florida Statutes that make owners strictly liable for dog bites. Attorney Cherie Fine is a member of the board of directors of the Alachua Humane Society and is aware of the joy and responsibility pet ownership brings. We at Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, P.A. know responsible owners can train their dogs to become better-behaved family members. Irresponsible owners who fail to leash their dog or adequately restrain their pets may find themselves accountable for serious animal attacks. At Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, P.A. in Gainesville, Florida, we represent traumatized and scarred clients who fell victim to a dog bite or other animal attack.
Contact us immediately at 352-376-6046 or 800-637-4545. You may be shaken and hurt following a dog attack, but you need aggressive representation to hold the negligent owner responsible for their lack of action.
Overcoming Challenges to Your Dog Bite Claim
Just because pet owners are strictly liable by law for a dog bite does not mean an animal attack claim is easy. With Florida homeowners' insurance policies sometimes excluding coverage for animal attacks, we face obstacles in securing the compensation you deserve.
However, our experience and knowledge of the law helps us to leave no stone unturned in seeking a source of compensation for your injuries.
