Frequently Asked Questions

How Common Are Dog Bites in Tampa, FL?

According to CDC data, about 4.5 million dog bites happen in the U.S. each year. About 800,000 of those bites are serious enough to require medical care. In a single year, approximately 27,000 Americans required reconstructive surgery because of dog attacks.

What is My Tampa Dog Bite Case Worth?

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2021, the average cost of a Florida dog bite claim was $54,820. However, the value of your case will depend on many factors, and all dog bite claims are different.

Can I Recover Damages If I’m Being Blamed for a Dog Bite in Florida?

You can recover damages even if you’re partially responsible for your dog bite injuries.

Dog bite cases are slightly different from typical personal injury cases. In a dog bite case, the owner may have a strong defense if the victim provoked the animal. That makes it more likely that the insurance company will try to blame you for causing the attack.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Dog Bite in Florida?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Florida is four years. Starting on the date of the dog bite, you’ll have four years to file a personal injury lawsuit. After that time, you lose your right to compensation.
