Dog Bites

Dog Bite Lawyer Naples, FL

“There are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners,” (or caretakers or trainers). You have the right to seek legal help if you are attacked by a dog, whether or not the owner was present at the time of the attack.

A dog attack can be terrifying, especially when it comes to the face and neck. It can cause lasting physical and mental damage (cuts and lacerations, nerve damage, broken bones). An attack on a child is especially egregious.

Dogs act on instinct. A dog that attacks can be provoked – through no fault of the victim – because they are fearful, trained to be aggressive, or improperly contained. In these cases, dogs are also the victims and those responsible should be held liable.
