While in most cases we view dog as man's best friend, a dangerous dog can be anything but. At the TRIPP LAW FIRM we handle cases involving dog bites and animal attacks that have caused serious and devastating injuries to adults and children. Although animal-attack claims most commonly involve dog bites, many other types of domesticated animals, such as ferrets, cats, and even birds, can also bite humans. Even non-domesticated animals, such as large cats ordinarily found in the wild, but owned by some people as pets have been known to attack children and adults. An owner's liability for injuries caused by his or her pet, if any, will vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Injury Attorney G. Alan Tripp, Jr., is experienced in handling personal injury claims is an excellent source for accurate advice and information if you have been injured in animal attack. The TRIPP LAW FIRM is able to handle animal attack injury cases involving dogs, venomous spiders, snakes, and other dangerous animals.
If you or your child has suffered an animal bite or attack, contact our West Central Florida, law firm today. We handle all animal accident and personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. That means, we do not take any payment for attorney's fees or costs until we obtain a settlement or verdict for you.
Most municipalities in Florida have leash laws, requiring owners to keep their animals out of the public at large. A dog is presumed to be domesticated unless it is proven otherwise. If a dog is not locked up, however, and it attacks or bites someone, the owner becomes strictly liable for any injury the dog causes. Chows, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and Akitas can all be extremely dangerous animals and cause severe and lasting injury, scarring, disfigurement, and even death.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that dogs bite 4.7 million people annually, resulting in 800,000 injuries that require medical attention. Almost half of them are children.
