Dog Bite Injury Attorneys

Assisting Clients in Personal Injury Cases throughout Tampa

Dog Bite

In 2010, dog attacks accounted for 33 deaths in the U.S. Of those who died, 20 were children. Of all of the breeds of dogs, pit bulls and Rottweilers are the most dangerous; their attacks outnumber any other type of dog. Some recent studies show that up to 1,000 Americans are treated in emergency rooms every year due to dog bites. Those most likely to need medical attention are children.

Under Florida law, those who are bitten by a dog are protected. Strict negligence regulations have been written into law which makes dog owners responsible for the behavior of their animals. If you or your child has been bitten by a dog in the Tampa area, it is important that you seek professional legal guidance. We recommend that you contact our firm to speak with an attorney about the situation. It is also wise to document the injuries and circumstances of the incident as soon as possible so that a Tampa personal injury attorney can evaluate whether or not you have a valid claim under the law. Your claim may also be subject to a statute of limitations which is another reason to act promptly. Our firm is well-versed in personal injury law and cases of all kinds.

Damages for Dog Bite Injuries

The damages that you may recover in a claim or lawsuit regarding a dog bite includes medical payments, insurance co-payments, and wages lost due to injury, and compensation for any future medical treatment. You may also be able to recover compensation for non-economic damages, such as mental trauma, pain and suffering. A Tampa dog bite lawyer at the firm can advise you on what to expect and what needs to be done in the legal matter of any dog bite or attack.

Contact a Tampa dog bite attorney at the firm if you or your child has been bitten by a dog in the Tampa area today (813) 862-1029.

    "If I could give Ernie Trichler 10 stars, I definitely would"
    If I could give Ernie Trichler 10 stars, I definitely would - 5 stars is not enough. Ernie aided myself & family with my mother’s wrongful death case. He didn’t care that she was 100 years old. Ernie is professional, trustworthy, and most importantly, he knows the law. He answered his phone every time I called with questions and he always had the answers. I interviewed at least 4 different attorneys and there was no doubt that Ernie is above and beyond them all. If you are in need of an attorney within the realm of his expertise, I highly recommend Ernie Trichler.

    "I went through a very traumatic accident that left me hospitalized for a month and in recovery for much longer"

    I went through a very traumatic accident that left me hospitalized for a month and in recovery for much longer. It was such a difficult and expensive process that I never thought I'd ever recover from. Jennifer Mandelbaum took care of me from day 1 making sure I never had to stress which was so amazing for me as to this day suffer from terrible PTSD. She not only made sure that I was taken care of but also that I was treated like family and she walked me through every step, ensuring that I was properly represented and didn't have to struggle with my bills for all my specialized doctors and care. I couldn't recommend a better firm to take care of you in your moment of need!

    It's a sad day when you find yourself needing a lawyer. So happy to have found Atty. Jennifer Mandelbaum, as she was so very helpful in all aspects. I never needed a lawyer before and did not understand the processes. Jennifer was always so pleasant and stayed in communication with me via text, calls and e-mails. Any time that I had a question or concern she was on it. I appreciate her business and I highly recommend her for your accident lawyer needs.

    "Professionalism at its Finest"
    Ernie was the epitome of a silver lining in an unfortunate situation. Having never dealt with an attorney in any sort of professional capacity, I was quite intimidated by the prospect. However, Ernie quickly put my mind at ease. Throughout the entirety of my case, he kept in constant contact with me. He updated me on new developments every step of the way and was more than willing to decipher all legal jargon that came my way. He worked tirelessly to yield the best possible results from my case. From the day of our first interaction, I knew the case was in capable hands.
