Florida Dog Bite Injury Lawyer | Davalos Legal - My Law Hero

Dog bites can cause serious injuries — physically and emotionally. Whether it’s a neighbor’s pet or a dog you encountered at a business, owners have a responsibility to control their animals. At Davalos Legal, we fight for victims of dog bites across Florida. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — is ready to help you recover medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for your pain and scarring.

Florida has a strong dog bite law:

• Strict Liability: A dog owner is responsible even if the dog never showed aggression before.
   
• No "One Free Bite" Rule: Unlike some states, Florida doesn’t require proof of a previous bite.
   
• Comparative Fault: If you were partly responsible (like trespassing), your recovery might be reduced — but you can still recover damages.
   

The law is on your side — but you must act quickly to protect your claim.

Dog bites can cause devastating injuries, including:

• Deep puncture wounds
   
• Torn ligaments and muscles
   
• Facial injuries and disfigurement
   
• Permanent scarring
   
• Nerve damage
   
• Emotional trauma (especially PTSD in children)
   

Some injuries require extensive medical treatment, surgeries, or long-term therapy. You deserve to be fully compensated.

1. Get medical attention immediately.
    
2. Report the attack to local animal control or police.
    
3. Identify the dog and its owner (take pictures if you can).
    
4. Document your injuries and keep copies of medical bills.
    
5. Contact Davalos Legal for a free case review.
    

Never agree to settle with the owner’s insurance company without legal advice.
They will try to lowball you — or deny your claim altogether.

Attorney Jonny Davalos fights aggressively for injury victims because he knows what’s at stake.
When you work with Davalos Legal, you get:

• Personalized, hands-on attention to your case
   
• Investigation into the dog’s history of aggression
   
• Experienced negotiation with insurance companies
   
• A trial-ready lawyer if the insurance company refuses to do the right thing
   

We fight so you don’t have to suffer twice — once from the attack, and again from unfair treatment.

Dog bites are serious. Your case deserves serious attention.
