Dog Bite Injury Lawyers in West Palm Beach
Holding Dog Owners and Negligent Parties Accountable for Serious Injuries
Under Florida Statutes § 767.04, dog owners are strictly liable when their dog bites someone in a public place—or lawfully on private property—regardless of the dog’s past behavior or the owner’s knowledge of any aggression. In other words, the law protects victims, not excuses.
At BillBone Law Group, we understand that dog bite incidents can cause severe physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial strain. Whether the attack resulted in lacerations, infection, permanent scarring, or psychological harm, your injury matters—and so does your right to recover fair compensation.
With more than two decades of trial experience, our West Palm Beach-based board-certified attorneys are ready to guide you through the legal process with compassion, clarity, and tenacity.

What To Do After a Dog Bite Incident
Time is critical for serious dog bite cases. The sooner we can begin investigating, the stronger your case will be. You can also save tons of money on medical expenses if you or a loved one is bitten by a dog.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a dog bite incident or animal attack, taking the right steps immediately can protect your health and legal rights. Here’s what to do:
Get Help: Seek immediate medical attention as soon as possible. Even minor-looking wounds can lead to serious infections or complications if left untreated.
Get Information: Obtain names and contact information of the dog’s owner and any witnesses who saw the animal attack or its aftermath.
Contact the Police: Make a police report and request a copy. This documentation is essential if you plan to seek compensation later.
Take Pictures: If possible, take photographs of the dog, the location where the incident occurred, and your injuries. Visual evidence can help strengthen your case.
Contact a Lawyer: Do not sign any papers or accept any insurance settlement without first contacting a lawyer. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and guide you through the process to seek compensation for your injuries.
important things you should know
Additional Information
Worried you may have been partially at fault? Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar (F.S. § 768.81). This means:
If you are found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages.
If you are 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovery.
Don’t let uncertainty stop you from seeking justice. Let our team determine your legal standing and walk you through your options.
After a dog attack, you may receive a quick settlement offer. But remember: these offers are designed to minimize payouts, not reflect the true value of your injury.
At BillBone Law Group, we track comparable jury verdicts and settlements to ensure your claim is accurately valued. Accepting an offer without legal review could leave you undercompensated for future surgeries, therapy, or lost income.
Consult us first, before signing anything. Once you accept a settlement, it’s final. Don’t risk walking away with less than you deserve.
Dog bite claims in Florida often involve complex legal and insurance issues. You may be entitled to compensation beyond medical bills, such as for lost wages, disfigurement, emotional distress, and long-term disability.
Liability can extend beyond just the dog’s owner. In some cases:
A landlord may be liable for knowingly allowing a dangerous dog on the property.
A business or employer could be responsible if the attack occurred during the course of employment.
Homeowners’ insurance and renters’ insurance policies may provide coverage.

Don’t Assume You Don’t Have a Case
Even Non-Bite Injuries May Be Actionable
While Florida’s dog bite statute focuses on bites, you may still have a valid claim if you were knocked down, scratched, or otherwise injured when a dog bite occurs or due to aggressive behavior.
Injuries resulting from a dog owner’s negligence, even without an actual bite, can still warrant legal action. Our attorneys carefully evaluate every aspect of your case, from the circumstances of the incident to the need for medical treatment and potential third-party liability.
