Have You Been Injured by a Dog Bite?
Collingsworth Law can help you determine whether you have a strong case or injury compensation claim .
Our society loves dogs, there’s no doubt about it. Adapting along our sides since before history was recorded, “man’s best friend” has established a seemingly permanent place among our society and within our homes. In fact, more than 45,000,000 American households include a dog.
Unfortunately, while our four-legged companions are lovable creatures treated as members of our families, the fact remains that they are still animals. As animals, they often act purely out of instinct. This means that biting is a natural reaction for a dog when experiencing a stressful situation. A dog may might because it’s startled, threatened, or scared; out of feeling a need to protect themselves, their owner, or their home; and sometimes, a dog may even bite while playing.
If you have been injured by a dog bite in the Central Florida or Brevard area, personal injury attorney, John Collingsworth, can help. John represents clients in all types of accident-related claims and is ready to help you seek compensation for the losses incurred from your dog bite injury.

- Approximately 32% of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog’s owner at the time of the attack. Children under 10 years old accounted for an astounding 82% of these deaths.
- Florida followed only Texas among states leading in lethal dog attacks (3 in 2015).
