| dog bite after trespass
What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? florida
i live in florida. i posted this in the insurance area got no response
my dog recently bit a 9 year old on the hand requiring stitches. the child was seen on my property by me right before it happened then he ran off and i didn't know why. his father came banging on the door saying my dog bit his child. the child then went to the emergency room to get stitches. several neighbors told me he was messing around my gate, in my front yard, that is posted beware of dog. they heard a dog yelp then the kid ran off. the neighbors also said my dog never left my backyard. everything was reported to animal contol and my coonhound mix is on a 10 day quarantine although she has had all her shots. the child told his dad in a rehearsed way that he was off my property and my dog broke out of my yard to attack him. 4 people who were there say otherwise. i checked online about the law in fla. and it says that if trespassing was involved i'm not liable. this seems to be the case but noone in the neighborhood can convince him his son is lying. i believe he will sue. what do i do? how do cases like this play out? thanks in advance for any input.... |
