Drew McCulloch, Esq. operates from 238 East Davis Boulevard Ste 202, Tampa, FL 33606, providing specialized legal help for dog bite victims. In Florida, dog owners face strict liability when their pets cause injuries, meaning victims can pursue claims even without evidence of prior aggressive behavior. The firm handles cases whether attacks occurred on public land or private property where victims were lawfully present. With 4.7 million dog bites occurring annually in the United States, these incidents are particularly dangerous at dog parks where unknown animals gather. Small children face the highest risk, often requiring reconstructive surgery, stitches, therapy, and counseling after attacks. McCulloch Law emphasizes the importance of reporting incidents to authorities, documenting injuries, and avoiding communication with insurance companies without representation. The attorneys offer free consultations, can meet clients at their homes or hospitals, and work on contingency fees—collecting payment only upon successful case resolution.

The Pawlowski//Mastrilli Law Group in Tampa, Florida specializes in dog bite cases, including those involving landlord liability. From their office at 1401 East 22nd Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33605, their experienced attorneys help victims understand their legal rights when injured by a dog on rental property. The firm explains that Florida property owners have a legal duty to keep premises safe for invited guests, which includes protecting them from dangerous dogs. Based on the 1987 White v. Whitworth case, landlords who know about dangerous dogs on their property and fail to take action can be held liable for resulting injuries. However, the firm notes that landlord liability typically stops at the property line, with no responsibility for off-premises injuries. Their attorneys investigate each case thoroughly, gathering evidence to establish the landlord’s knowledge of the dangerous animal and failure to take corrective action. The firm has successfully secured numerous settlements for dog bite victims throughout Florida, including cases involving multiple dog attacks and dangerous breed incidents.
