Q and A on Dog Bite Attacks

January 15, 2016 by David R. Heil, PA

While we do love our canine friends, we’re also very wary of the harm that their sharp pointed teeth can do to us. This is why we all need to be careful with dogs, whether they are our pets or belong to other people. The following are some common questions and answers to dog bit attacks. Read through to see if they apply to you.

What should I do in the event of a dog bite?

Get medical attention immediately. This is important so you can get proper treatment first and have the wounds tended to. Then, if the dog wasn’t yours, you should file a personal injury suit against the owner of the dog.

Training Techniques to Keep Your Dog from Biting People

May 5, 2015 by David R. Heil, PA

A dog is very much a part of the family. This goes almost without dissent. Any family blessed with one will tell you, very much, that they don’t just think of their dog as an object like a TV, or a strange hairy wet-nosed tenant who never pays rent. They are part of the social unit that makes up that household. So naturally this can create a certain amount of distress when the family finds it can’t keep their dog from biting people.

Now there has been a fair amount of discussion in the media every now and then about dogs, usually when a toddler is mauled by one. We can’t comment about whether certain breeds are more dangerous than others, or whether parents should pay more mind to how their kids approach strange animals. But we can offer to show some training techniques that can at least prevent unfortunate accidents.

You see, usually when a dog is prone to biting people, it’s not because the dog is necessarily aggressive. If anything, the dog may actually have been being playful and had no intention of causing harm. The problem thus arises when a dog doesn’t know the difference between rough play and actually causing injury.

When Dogs Bite: Orlando Dog Bite Attorney

October 11, 2014 by David R. Heil, PA

Florida Statutes address dog bites occurring in Orlando, serving the Central Florida area for over 29 years we know what it takes to handle dog bite cases.

There are two primary statutes in Florida that hold the owners of dogs responsible for the actions of their dogs. You should also be aware that more and more homeowner’s policies in Florida are excluding coverage for dogs, and more have separate limitations on dog bites.

Orlando-Dog-Bite-Lawyer-AttorneyFlorida Statute 767.01 states:

“Owners of dogs shall be liable for any damage done by their dogs to a person”

Florida Statute 767.04 states:

“The owner of any dog that bites any person while such person is on or in a public place, or lawfully on or in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, is liable for damages suffered by persons bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owners’ knowledge of such viciousness.”

How Dog and Animal Bites Affect You and Your Pet

April 25, 2014 by David R. Heil, PA

Many people love dogs and other animals and enjoy having them as companions in their households. However, with owning these animals comes a grave responsibility to ensure that others are not injured by their actions. Animal bites are common occurrences that often cause legal difficulties for owners. In addition, your pet must also be protected from being bitten by other animals, whether neighborhood pets or local wildlife.

Legal Responsibilities of Animal Owners

It’s not only dogs that cause bites. Any animal with teeth could potentially cause an injury to a neighbor, guest or child that is visiting the household. Anyone who owns an animal is responsible for keeping it under control at all times when out in public. Whether the animal is kept on leash or in a type of pet carrier, the owner is responsible for maintaining adequate supervision of the animal at all times. The pet owner’s responsibility continues in their own home, with guests who may come to the home to visit. If your animal cannot be trusted around strangers or small children, you should put him in a separate room to ensure everyone’s safety.
