Questions

Common questions

Florida law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites in many situations — often even if the dog never bit anyone before. John can explain how it applies to your case.

Usually it’s the homeowner’s or renter’s insurance that pays a claim, not your friend personally. John can walk you through how that typically works.

Florida limits the time to bring a dog-bite claim, so it’s best not to wait to get advice.
