Mr. Ledford has handled thousands of personal injury claims and may be able to assist you in recovering compensation for injuries, any lost wages, permanent scarring and pain and suffering.

Dog Bite Cases in Florida

Florida does not currently have a "dangerous breed" law — restricting the activities of particular types of dog with vicious personalities. All dog owners are legally responsible if their dogs attack another person, whether or not the dog has previously shown signs of aggression or has bitten a person before.
