Protecting Victims of Serious Dog Attacks in Florida and Pennsylvania

A dog bite or attack can leave victims with lasting physical and emotional scars. While many dogs are beloved pets, not all are properly trained or restrained by their owners. When a dog attacks, the consequences can be devastating—especially for children and older adults. If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog attack, Clause Law Group is here to help you understand your rights and pursue full compensation.

Common Injuries from Dog Attacks

Dog attacks often result in:

  • Deep lacerations or puncture wounds
  • Broken bones or crushed tissue
  • Eye and facial injuries
  • Nerve damage
  • Dangerous infections
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma, especially in children

Children are especially vulnerable due to their small size and natural curiosity. Dog attacks on young children frequently involve bites to the head, face, and neck—areas that can cause life-altering harm.


Who’s Liable for a Dog Bite?

In many states, including Florida and Pennsylvania, dog owners may be strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs—meaning the victim does not need to prove the owner was negligent.

Even if the dog never showed prior signs of aggression, the owner may still be held accountable if:

  • The bite occurred in a public place, or
  • The bite occurred while the victim was lawfully on private property (such as a guest, delivery person, or utility worker)

Comparative negligence may be raised as a defense if the victim provoked the dog or knowingly put themselves at risk, but the burden of proof is on the dog owner.


How Clause Law Group Can Help

Our experienced attorneys will:

  • Investigate the circumstances of the attack
  • Identify insurance coverage and responsible parties
  • Work with medical providers to document your injuries
  • Negotiate with the dog owner’s insurance company
  • File a lawsuit if necessary to recover fair compensation

We fight for damages including medical expenses, future care needs, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and more.
