Being attacked by an animal is an extremely stressful event. Many animal attack injuries leave scars and have lasting emotional effects.
In the State of Florida, the owner or keeper of an animal is strictly liable for his or her pet, even if it is the first time the animal has injured someone. As long as the injured victim was not trespassing, teasing or tormenting the animal, the keeper or owner is liable for any injuries sustained. Compensation for an animal attack can include payment for medical bills, pain & suffering, mental anxiety, fear and scarring.
