Florida is a strict liability state for dog bites in many situations — meaning an owner can be responsible even if the dog never bit anyone before. Bites can cause deep wounds, infection, nerve damage, and lasting scars, and they are especially serious for children. Homeowner or renter insurance often comes into play in these claims.
Owner responsibility
Florida law often holds owners responsible for bites in public places or when you were lawfully on private property.
Insurance coverage
Homeowner or renter insurance frequently covers dog bite claims, depending on the policy.
Children at risk
Bites to children are common and can cause facial injuries and scarring that need ongoing care.
Scarring and infection
Even smaller bites can lead to infection, nerve damage, and lasting marks that matter to a claim.
