Your Dog and Leash Laws
There is no statewide leash law in the state of Florida; however some counties in Florida, such as St. Johns County in St. Augustine, have enacted their own leash ordinances to help control the incidents of dog bites and spread of disease. Some homeowner associations in various municipalities enact their own bylaws that require animals to be leashed.
Regardless of whether or not leash laws are in effect, it is a good idea to keep your dog on a leash when outside your home. In Florida, if you own a dog and your dog bites another person, you will be held responsible for any personal injury your dog causes. There is no way to determine whether or not your dog may have the propensity to bite an adult or child. While there are certain breeds of dog that are more prone to such behavior, any dog can bite, especially if that dog is overly excited, scared, sick or acting to protect its property or family.
If you or a loved one has suffered psychological trauma, injury or disfigurement because of a dog bite, please contact our attorneys at Lusk, Drasites, Tolisano & Smith, P.A. today for a claim evaluation and get you the compensation you deserve.
