Dog Bite Injury Lawyer Bradenton Florida
Dogs may bite if they feel that they are threatened, or are trying to protect their owner or territory. A dog may also bite to establish its dominance. It can be a traumatizing and scary experience if you are bitten. If this happens to you, you could receive compensation. There are dog bite statutes under which a dog owner can be held liable for the injuries their dog causes to another person by biting them. A trusted Bradenton injury lawyer can help you determine if you have a valid case.
In Florida, the owner of the dog is liable for any damages caused, whether on public property or lawfully on or inside private property. The statute of limitations requires a case for a dog bite be submitted within four years of the date of the accident.

When dogs feel threatened or protective, they can bite anyone that is nearby. The chances of children getting seriously injured from a dog bite versus an adult is significantly higher.
