Orlando Dog and Animal Bite Attorneys - Payer Law Group

If you, a friend or family member suffered injuries due to an animal bite, our Payer Law Group lawyers can collect a substantial settlement or jury award for the pain and suffering and other damages suffered by the victim. It does not have to be a bite; it can be any type of injury inflicted by any animal or pet.

In Florida, the owner of any animal is strictly liable if their animal injures someone through an attack or even just by walking out into a roadway and causing a crash. This strict liability means the owner of the animal is liable to anyone injured regardless of the direct negligence of the animal’s owner. The owner does not have to be aware of the dangerous propensities of the dog or otherwise be at fault for failing to supervise or enclose the animal or even warn others of the animal’s viciousness. Liability in most any case involving an animal attack is quite simple to win.

The lawyers at Payer Law Group have represented a number of United States Postal mail carriers and others attacked by animals throughout Central and South Florida. Because of our close professional relationships with local reconstructive plastic surgeons, we will immediately refer the victim to a plastic surgeon and supervise all efforts to fix the scarring damages often caused by these attacks.

If the dog bite victim is a child, we work closely with pediatric maxillofacial reconstruction surgeons at Arnold Palmer Hospital to secure all the best treatment options immediately for you and your family. This care is why you need a lawyer now.

Typically, animal bites are covered by the pet owner’s homeowner’s insurance thereby making the homeowner’s insurance company responsible for all damages. Coverage exclusions promoted by insurance companies over the past few years is another reason why you need a lawyer.
