Juan A. Salazar from Salazar & Kelly Law Group, P.A. serves dog bite victims from their main office at 603 Verona Street, Kissimmee, Florida 34741. Their attorneys explain that Florida’s strict liability dog bite statute holds owners financially responsible for damages their pets cause, regardless of whether the animal had previous aggressive behavior. They clarify that while a dog owner is generally liable when a bite occurs in public or when a victim is lawfully on private property, the victim’s own negligence may reduce compensation if they partially caused the incident through provocation or unauthorized behavior. The firm notes that Florida law may allow owners to avoid liability through properly posted “Bad Dog” signs, though this defense doesn’t apply when victims are children under six years old. Their experienced Kissimmee dog bite attorneys help victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. For a free initial consultation, call 407-483-0500.
