According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), every year close to 4.5 million people are attacked by dogs. Children are victims in half of these attacks. One out of five attacks is serious enough to warrant medical attention. Dog bites can result not only in minor and major wounds but broken bones and teeth, concussions, and internal injuries. The CDC states that reconstructive surgery was needed for more than 27,000 victims who suffered dog bite injuries in 2012. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog in or around Fort Lauderdale, you may be protected by Florida state law.

In general, dog owners are responsible for damages to anyone who is harmed by their animal.

Steve and his staff were amazing. The staff is friendly and easy to communicate with. The level of knowledge and experience that Steve has really made the process very simple. It really wasn't but everything was done efficiently, accurately … More and always communicated. Steve went above and beyond to ensure that all documents and communication were handled by all parties involved. This was probably the best experience with an institution I've ever had and it's because of the people skills, level of care and experience.Thank you Steve!

I had a great experience with them, they worked quick and made it extremely easy for me to get compensation for my injuries. They called me when my settlement was done and told me to pick up my check. 100% recommend using them.
