With over 30 years of service in South Florida, our personal injury attorneys have successfully represented many clients who have suffered physical and emotional pain because of dog bites and attacks. If you or a member of your family has been hurt by a dog, the dog's owner is generally responsible for any injuries inflicted by the animal. As a Rosen and Rosen client, you will receive professional and aggressive representation and the support of a tenacious legal team who will work to protect your rights and help ensure that you receive the fairest compensation possible.

Almost 5 million people nationwide are attacked or bitten by dogs each year in the United States. According to the American Humane Association, more children suffer dog bite injuries than measles, mumps and whooping cough combined. Victims are entitled to compensation when another person's negligence is proven. Individuals who provoke a dog are not eligible for compensation under the law; however, children of a certain age may be determined to be incapable of provocation.

Most homeowners' insurance pays for dog-related injuries. The Insurance Information Institute reports that dog bite related claims have quadrupled in five years. Some frightening statistics include:

• Approximately 30% of the attacks are caused by unrestrained dogs off the owner's property.
• 22% of reported incidents involve a restrained dog on the owner's property.
• 48% of incidents occur on the owner's property with an unrestrained animal.
• Over half of those attacked are children.
