Legal Answers
Q. My dog bit a delivery driver on his hand and scratched his chest almost 2 years ago.
A: Although not necessarily required, it’s probably in your best interest to hire a lawyer to handle this if you do not have dog bite coverage under your insurance. If you have dog bite coverage, then contact your insurance and they will handle it for you.
Q. Someone else was diving my car without my permission and hit someone. Am I responsible for cost of damages?
A: Yes, you could still potentially be liable. However, if the vehicle was stolen, that would be a viable defense. Once you've been served with the lawsuit the first step should be to contact your insurance to see if they will provide you with an attorney to represent you in the lawsuit.

Q. Can my husband be fired from his job if we sue his employer for a dog attack on her property?
A: I handle landlord/tenant and dog bite claims statewide.

As for the landlord/tenant aspect of your question, your lease should protect you. If you have a one-year lease and are in compliance with all of its terms, then the landlord has no justification in trying to evict you. Florida Statue 83.64 says "It is unlawful for a landlord...to bring or threaten to bring an action for possession or other civil action, primarily because the landlord is retaliating against the tenant."

As for the employment aspect, that is a little trickier and it not really my area of law. However, I can tell you there are protections against firing someone based on racial discrimination, sex-based discrimination, in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment, in retaliation for filing a wage and hour complaint, or for another unlawful reason. You should speak with an employment attorney to see if a firing would constitute retaliatory conduct. Best of luck! ... Read More
