Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Bites

What should I do immediately after a dog bite?

Seek prompt medical attention even for minor wounds. Document your injuries, gather information about the dog and its owner, and report the incident to Ormond Beach animal control if possible.

Who is responsible for a dog bite injury?

In many cases, the dog's owner can be held liable under Florida law, even if the dog never bit anyone before. Some exceptions or defenses may apply depending on the circumstances.
