While dogs are often seen as trusted companions and beloved members of the family, it’s important to remember that they are still animals with natural instincts. Even well-trained or typically gentle pets can lash out unexpectedly, leading to serious injuries. Our Fort Lauderdale, FL dog bite lawyer understands how devastating these attacks can be for victims and their families. We are serious about holding negligent dog owners accountable and pursuing the compensation our clients need for medical treatment, lost income, and the suffering they’ve endured. Contact us at The Andres Lopez Law FIrm to request a free consultation and learn more about how we can help.
Our dog bite attorney is here to represent people throughout Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the surrounding areas who have been hurt by preventable animal attacks. Some incidents are caused by negligent pet owners who fail to properly restrain or train their dogs, while others stem from animals running loose in public spaces or being provoked by unsafe handling. No matter the circumstances, these injuries are often avoidable, and victims deserve accountability and compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.
Dog bites are far more common than we’d like to think. According to the World Animal Foundation, over 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, with hundreds of thousands requiring emergency medical care. Children are especially vulnerable, and in severe cases, victims may need reconstructive surgery or face permanent disfigurement. The medical costs alone can be overwhelming, but combined with the pain and trauma from the attack, it’s totally understandable to feel uncertain about the chances of a full recovery.
When you’re feeling lost, we hope you turn to us. We answer the phone 24/7, and we offer evening and weekend appointments upon request. When you choose our Florida personal injury firm, you can be sure that you will always have the legal resources and support you need from start to finish.
