Dog Bite: There is no "one free bite" law in Florida

Florida law is quite clear on dog bite matters. Many people believe that there needs to be a prior history of aggressiveness or prior dog bites in order to file a claim / case in Florida. Whether the dog is a Pit Bull figher of a show dog Poodle, the law is the same. A dog owner is liable for the injuries caused by a dog bite regardless of the prior history of the dog. As a dog owner, I understand both the benefits and the responsibilities of owning a dog. I have the most gentle dog in the world. She gets along with children, adults, and other pets. However, she is still an animal and could bite an unsuspecting adult or child. It is best to keep in mind that a dog is an animal. Take safeguards when children are visiting. Watch out for the dangerous combination of food, children and dogs. If you have any further questions about dog bites and Florida law, Contact a Florida dog bite attorney to discuss your respective rights.

Jacksonville Florida Resident's Dogs Attacked by Pit Bull

Pit Bulls are powerful and sometimes vicious dogs. A Jacksonville woman was walking her small dog when she passed a home with two Pit Bulls. The Pit Bulls escaped the fence and began attacking the woman and her dogs. The victim did not have life threatening injuries but did have dog bites to her leg and her dog. The Florida Times Union reported this story at- >Pit Bull Attacks Jacksonville Florida Woman Walking Her Dogs.

This story shows the importance of securing all dogs within a fence for the safety of others including adults, children, and other pets.

Florida's Dog Bite Statute covers any dog that bites a person. Whether a person is bite by a Pit Bull or a Poodle, liability is still the same under the statute.

Girl Dies While Waiting for CIGNA Insurance Approval for Liver Transplant

Doctors should be making medical decisions for patients - not health insurance companies. In California, a Northridge teenager awaiting a liver transplant died Thursday after she was pulled off of life support.

CIGNA Insurance Company initially refused to cover the cost of the transplant for Natalee Sarkisian, saying the surgery was too experimental.

On Thursday, friends, family and members of a nurses association held a protest outside CIGNA headquarters in Glendale, urging the insurance company to reconsider.

During the protest, Natalee's mother got word CIGNA had changed its mind and would make an exception for Natalee's surgery.

After the family got the good news of approval, the family got the bad news that Natalee was not doing well and died thereafter.

Medical care should be directed by doctors and not the pencil pushers or the number crunchers.
