Dog Bite Attorney | Georgia & Florida
Dog bite injuries can be severe and traumatic. Dog owners can be held legally responsible for the harm their animals cause.
A dog bite or attack can cause serious physical injury and lasting psychological trauma — especially for children. If you were bitten or attacked by someone else's dog, the dog's owner may be legally responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Dog Bite Law in Georgia and Florida
Georgia
Under Georgia law, a dog owner may be liable for injuries if the owner knew the dog was dangerous or vicious and the victim was not provoking the animal. Georgia also has leash law provisions that can affect liability when a dog runs at large.
Florida
Florida operates under a strict liability standard for dog bites. Dog owners are generally liable for bites that occur in public places or on private property where the victim was lawfully present — regardless of whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous.
