Titusville Dog Bite Lawyer

Andrew Pickett Law is a top Titusville dog bite law firm that handles bite and attack cases throughout Titusville and North Brevard County for victims who need help getting medical treatment and financial recovery. Founder Andrew Pickett is a former Eighteenth Judicial Circuit prosecutor, and dog attack cases often run beside a county case or a criminal charge.

Many of the people who call us about a dog bite are not calling about themselves. They are calling about a child, often bitten on the face or the hands, by a dog the family knows. It is the neighbor’s dog, or a relative’s, or the dog in the yard where the kids have played for years.

You end up holding two worries at the same time. You want the wound treated and paid for, and you want to know whether your child needs rabies shots. You do not want to lose a friendship or cost anyone their dog. Treating the wound and keeping the friendship fit together more easily than most people expect. The claim goes to an insurance company, and the report goes to an agency whose first job is the rabies question.

Start with the filing deadline, because it limits everything after it. Then come the rules on who is responsible, what a sign changes, and how blame gets split. After that come where the money comes from, what a lawyer costs, and what you can do today. Suppose the bite happened in a backyard off Barna Avenue on a Saturday afternoon. By the end you will know who does each part, and which parts are yours.

The Filing Deadline Is Shorter Than Most People Assume

Treat two years from the day of the bite as your deadline to file a lawsuit. Florida sets two years for negligence claims arising after the law changed in March 2023.¹ Nothing shorter than two years could apply to a dog bite. A claim filed inside it never has to win an argument about which deadline governs.

Nobody knows for certain which deadline applies. Florida allows four years for a claim founded on a liability the legislature wrote into a statute,² and a dog bite claim is arguably one of those. No appeals court has ruled on the conflict between the two deadlines since the 2023 change. An unsettled deadline is a reason to move early, never a reason to wait. Anyone relying on the longer period is betting a whole case on an undecided issue.

A child’s claim does not wait until they grow up

Parents often assume a bitten child has until adulthood to sue. Florida does pause some deadlines during childhood, but only in narrow situations, and it caps the pause hard. You have to start the lawsuit within seven years of the bite no matter what.³ A bite at age four therefore does not keep until age eighteen. The evidence that proves the claim is also strongest in the first few months. That is the practical deadline, and it arrives long before the legal one.

The Owner Is Responsible Even if the Dog Never Bit Anyone Before

If a dog bit you or your child in a public place, the owner is responsible for the injury. The same is true anywhere you had a right to be. You do not have to prove the owner was careless. You do not have to prove the owner should have seen it coming. Florida’s dog bite statute attaches responsibility to owning the dog. The statute’s own words are “regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owners’ knowledge of such viciousness.”⁴ Lawyers call that strict liability. Most owners answer a bite by saying the dog had never bitten anyone before, which changes nothing about the claim.

Insurers fight hardest over where you were standing. The statute protects you in any public place, and on private property where you were lawfully present. Being invited counts, and so does doing a job the law requires. The statute names the second route in general terms: a person performing “any duty imposed upon him or her by the laws of this state or by the laws or postal regulations of the United States.”⁵ A postal carrier is inside that phrase. A delivery driver or a meter reader is usually inside the other route, the owner’s implied invitation, which is the same route that covers a neighbour who was asked over. Someone bitten at work usually holds a workers’ compensation claim and a dog bite claim at once. The two run side by side rather than one replacing the other.

A trespasser sits outside the statute’s protection, so the owner’s insurer asks where you were before anything else. A witness who can put you on the sidewalk settles that question early. A witness who confirms you were invited in does the same. Collect names now, while people still remember the afternoon.

If the Dog Never Bit You, You Still Have a Claim

Some of the worst dog injuries involve no bite at all. A large dog that jumps up can knock an older person onto concrete. The same dog can chase a cyclist into a fall. A hip or a wrist breaks without the dog’s teeth touching anyone. Florida handles those injuries under a separate, older law that makes owners answer for any damage their dog does to a person.⁶

You need to know which law your claim rests on. The bite statute’s special features belong to bites, and the sign rules below are among them. A claim built on being knocked down, chased or scratched rests on the older statute instead.⁶ That statute says an owner is liable for any damage the dog does to a person, and it names no fault requirement. Whether it does all that work on its own for a non-bite injury is unsettled in Florida, so these claims are normally pleaded both ways, on the statute and on ordinary carelessness, and the proof you gather serves either route. Almost everything written online about dog injuries skips that situation. A person with a broken hip ends up reading rules that were never theirs. You do have a claim, and you simply prove it a different way.

A Sign on the Fence Is Not the End of Your Claim

The warning sign you have seen on fences around Titusville almost certainly said “Beware of Dog.” The statute names a different phrase. A property owner gets a defence only where the property displayed “a sign easily readable including the words ‘Bad Dog.'”⁴ Whether a differently worded sign counts is a real argument rather than a settled rule, and Florida’s Supreme Court has gone both ways on it. What the court has settled is that the sign has to give genuine, effective and bona fide notice to the person who was bitten, and that is decided case by case.⁷ A sign is an argument, not a shield that ends the conversation.

Even the statute’s own sign has four holes in it, and they are wide ones. If you or your child was bitten on posted property, do not assume that a sign closed the case.

The Owner’s Insurer Will Say You Provoked the Dog

Expect that argument, because it is the cheapest one available. The owner’s insurance company will suggest you provoked the dog. It may suggest you ignored a warning, or reached somewhere you should not have. A jury splits the blame by percentage, and you lose whatever share lands on you.

The reduction happens in two layers, and you need both to have the rule right. The dog bite statute carries its own clause, which cuts the owner’s liability by the percentage the bitten person’s own carelessness added to the incident.⁴ Sitting on top of it is the general fault law rewritten in 2023. That law bars any recovery at all for a person found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm. It reaches dog bite claims, because it defines the cases it covers to include strict liability.⁹ The 50 percent rule you may have read on other pages therefore applies here as well. It applies in addition to the statute’s own reduction, not instead of it. Anyone who told you that strict liability means automatic full payment left this part out.

No share of the blame can be put on a child under six

Children get their own rules, and insurers like explaining them least. Florida does not let a jury assign any percentage of fault to a child under six, so nobody can blame a four-year-old for petting the wrong dog.¹⁰ For a child six or older, a jury decides whether the child was careless. The measure is a reasonable child of that age, not an adult.

Fault for failing to watch a child can be assigned to a parent.¹⁰ That can happen even when the parent is not a defendant in the case. Expect that tactic and prepare for it, because it is a defence move rather than a reason to leave the claim unmade.

Where the Money Comes From, and Why It Is Rarely the Owner’s Pocket

Nearly every dollar recovered in a dog bite case is paid by a home or renters insurance policy. Find out what coverage exists before you think about value. Most homeowners policies carry a personal liability limit in the low hundreds of thousands.¹¹ The owner pays nothing personally when a policy responds, so making a claim means notifying an insurer rather than suing a friend into ruin. Whenever the owner is known, find out early and in writing whether a policy exists and what it covers.

Breed is where two true rules meet, and the combination decides real cases. No city, county or public housing authority in Florida may regulate dogs by breed, weight or size, and nothing is grandfathered in.¹² No breed is banned here, and breed changes nothing about the owner’s responsibility. Insurance companies, on the other hand, are still free to underwrite by breed. Many policies exclude the breeds most often involved in serious attacks. Florida’s courts have enforced a policy’s dog bite exclusion as written.¹³ Responsibility can be clear while coverage is missing, and which situation you are in is a fact to establish in the first weeks.

A policy pays up to a stated limit for each covered event, which the policy calls an occurrence. In a mauling, separate bites cause separate injuries. Florida’s courts have treated each of those bites as its own occurrence.¹⁴ That reading can multiply what one policy limit appears to allow. A demand written from the policy and the medical records together can be several times larger than one written from the bills alone.

When no policy exists, the claim gets honestly harder, because collecting from a person’s own assets rarely repays the effort. The dangerous dog rules are the main exception. Suppose the county had already declared this dog dangerous before it bit you. Its owner was then required by law to carry at least $100,000 in liability coverage.¹⁵ A criminal case against the owner can also produce restitution toward your treatment.¹⁶ Our first job in a case with no coverage is telling you plainly whether there is anything to collect, before anyone spends a year finding out.

The Titusville personal injury page explains how a court values medical bills. It also covers how a Brevard hospital’s claim can attach to settlement money.

What a Dog Bite Lawyer Costs

Andrew Pickett Law only works on a contingency fee. The fee is a percentage of whatever we recover for you, and there is no fee at all if we recover nothing. You never write us a check to get started, and you never see an hourly bill. Florida law caps what that percentage can be, so no firm sets its own ceiling. We set out the percentages and the rest of the fee mechanics on the Titusville personal injury page.

We back that cap with a commitment of our own. We work your case to its full value, and we make sure you are not out of pocket while it runs. Filing fees, medical records and expert reports get advanced by the firm. We do not bill them to you while you or your child is still healing.

Ask any firm you talk to, including us, what happens to those advanced costs if the case is lost. Firms answer that differently, so get it in writing before you sign anything.

A Bite Nobody Reports Leaves You With Nothing to Prove

A bite that never gets reported produces no investigation and no county file. It leaves no independent record that the bite ever happened. The wound heals, memories blur, and the case turns into your word against the owner’s. Reporting costs one phone call, and almost everything else on this page depends on it.

The agency that investigates bites here is Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services, reached at (321) 633-2024. The division works under the animal control article of the county code.¹⁷ Making that call is not the same as pressing a criminal charge. A first bite by a dog with no history behind it is usually no crime at all.¹⁶ It does not usually end with the dog being taken from the family that owns it.

The ten-day rabies watch runs from the day of the bite

You answer the rabies question by watching the dog for ten days. The ten days run from the bite itself, not from whenever the dog is located or picked up.¹⁸ The owner can usually watch a dog with a current rabies vaccination at home. The officer certifies the site, and the owner signs a confinement agreement. Animal Services confines a dog without a current vaccination at a shelter or a veterinarian’s office, at the owner’s expense. A dog that comes through the ten days healthy settles the rabies question, and nobody needs shots on its account.

A dog that cannot be found changes the medical picture immediately. Health authorities are then to contact the bitten person within 24 hours. The subject of that call is the series of shots that prevents rabies, which doctors call post-exposure treatment.¹⁸ Those shots work by being started promptly, so report the bite the same day rather than after the weekend. Let the ten-day watch answer the medical question.

A scar keeps changing for a year, and photographs are the only record

Scarring drives the value of a dog bite claim more than in almost any other injury case. Facial scarring on a child drives it hardest of all. A scar’s final appearance is not knowable early, because scar tissue keeps changing for a year or more after the wound closes. A claim you settle in month three settles on an unfinished injury. It settles at a number nobody could honestly calculate yet.

The fix costs nothing and needs no lawyer. Photograph the wound, and then the scar, on a set schedule from the first week onward. Use the same light, the same angle and the same distance every time. The record then shows the whole course of the injury, rather than two endpoints a defence expert can argue about. When the scar has matured, that series of photographs becomes an exhibit. It is what turns the word disfigurement in a demand letter into something a jury can see.

The County Builds Its Own Case About This Bite, on a Clock You Do Not Control

While you are dealing with the wound, a second case about the same bite can begin without you. The second case runs on a schedule set by statute, and it finishes long before your injury claim does. It also produces the best evidence of what happened that will ever exist. A family that never learns the file is there can settle a strong case like a weak one.

Where the investigation supports it, the county moves to have the dog formally declared dangerous. The law calls that declaration a classification. The county notifies the owner, who has 7 calendar days to request a hearing. The county must hold that hearing no sooner than 5 days and no later than 21 days after the request. The owner’s remaining move is an appeal to circuit court.¹⁵ Start to finish, the file is usually complete inside about a month, while your injury claim may take a year or longer.

The county put everything it gathered for the classification into that file. It holds the officer’s investigation, witness statements, wound photographs, the dog’s history of complaints, and the classification order itself. A liability record built by a neutral county agency, on its own deadline, is rare in an injury claim. An insurer reading a demand built on that record prices the file as one that can be tried. A file that can only be argued with gets priced differently.

Classification also changes where the money comes from. The owner of a classified dog must carry at least $100,000 in liability insurance. That owner must also keep the dog microchipped, sterilized, and behind a locked enclosure with a posted warning sign.¹⁵ We ask early whether the county had already classified this dog before it bit you. A prior classification means the law required a six-figure policy that day. It also means the new bite may itself be a crime.

Brevard publishes no public list you can search to check any of this. The classification file exists, and it is obtained by requesting it from the agency rather than found online. A bite nobody reported produces no investigation, no classification, no insurance requirement and no file. That is the whole reason the call goes in on day one.

A dog that got out is now a defined failure, not bad luck

Florida rewrote its dangerous dog chapter effective July 1, 2025. The new law is named for Pam Rock, a Putnam County mail carrier killed by dogs.¹⁹ Confiscation of a dog that meets the statutory triggers is now mandatory rather than a judgment call. Owners must microchip and sterilize classified dogs, and shelters must disclose a dog’s dangerous status to anyone adopting it. Removing a microchip became a felony, and the maximum fine doubled to $1,000.

The enclosure rule matters most in ordinary cases. A proper enclosure is now defined as locked and escape-proof “over, under, or through.”¹⁹ Most owners in these cases tell the same story: the dog somehow got out. That story now describes a failure the statute defines, rather than a piece of bad luck.

A first bite rarely ends with the dog being put down

For most first bites, the dog is not taken and the owner is not charged. A dog with no classification and no known history is not seized over a single ordinary bite. Its owner has committed no crime unless the dog caused severe injury or death, the owner knew the dog was dangerous, and the owner showed reckless disregard anyway. All three together are a first-degree misdemeanor, with an express carve-out where the bitten person was committing a crime at the time.¹⁶ Fear of both outcomes is what keeps too many bites from being reported at all.

Serious maulings sit under different rules, and the wound itself moves a case between them. The statute borrows a clinical scale for bite severity called the Dunbar bite scale.¹⁵ It does not print the scale, so the levels come from the scale itself. The level the law cares about, level 5, is not about how deep one wound is. It means a dog that delivered at least two of the scale’s most serious single bites, or attacked more than once. Where a dog is already under a dangerous-dog investigation and its bite scores 5 or higher, or it has killed someone, animal control must confiscate the dog immediately.¹⁵ A classified dog that bites again without provocation exposes its owner to a first-degree misdemeanor. That rises to a second-degree felony where the attack causes severe injury or death. The statute defines severe injury concretely: broken bones, multiple bites, or disfiguring lacerations needing sutures or reconstructive surgery.¹⁶ Early photographs are what let anyone place a bite on that scale later, after healing has hidden the evidence.

Why Clients Choose Andrew Pickett Law

Before he represented injured people, Andrew prosecuted cases in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. It is the same circuit where a Titusville dog bite case would be tried. A prosecutor would bring any criminal charge over a dog attack there too. He has taken injury cases to verdict in front of Brevard juries, and he trained at the Trial Lawyers College. A firm with that record treats a bite claim the way the county’s file treats it, as something built to be tried. These claims mostly settle, and they settle differently when we build the file for a courtroom.

Clients tell us the same thing in their reviews: they knew what was happening while it happened. We tell you what the next step is and roughly when it comes. When something changes, we say so.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Bite Claims

The dog belongs to a friend or a relative. Can I make a claim without wrecking the relationship?

Usually yes, because the claim is presented to their home or renters insurer rather than to them. The money comes from coverage they have been paying for all along.¹¹ The owner is not writing a check. Many families find the relationship survives an insurance claim better than it survives unpaid medical bills. Where the owner truly has no coverage, the calculation changes. We have that honest conversation before you file anything.

How do I find out whether the dog was already declared dangerous?

Ask Animal Services, because Brevard County publishes no public dangerous dog lookup to search. The classification file is obtained by request from Animal Services at (321) 633-2024. If the dog carried a classification before your bite, the law required its owner to hold at least $100,000 in liability coverage. The bite itself may also be a crime,¹⁵ and both the policy and the charge change the shape of your claim.

My child was bitten. How long do we have?

Plan on two years from the bite, the same operating assumption we use for adults.¹ Florida pauses the clock for childhood only in narrow cases, and it caps the pause at seven years from the bite.³ A child’s claim does not keep until adulthood. The county’s investigation file is the best evidence in the case. The county builds it within about a month whether or not anyone acts on it. A child under six also gets protections adults never have. No jury can put a share of fault on them, and no owner can raise a sign against them.¹⁰

The owner has no homeowners insurance. Is there still a case?

You still have a claim. Collecting on it is the harder part. Recovery without a policy depends on the owner’s own assets, which rarely justify the cost of pursuing them. The exceptions are a dog that was already classified, since a $100,000 policy was then required by law,¹⁵ and a prosecution that produces restitution toward your treatment.¹⁶ We tell people when a case cannot be collected, before they spend a year finding out.

I was bitten while making a delivery. Does being on the job change my claim?

Being on the job adds a claim rather than subtracting one. The dog bite statute covers a person performing a duty imposed by law on the property, and the postal regulations of the United States count.⁵ That puts a postal carrier inside the statute without an invitation. A private courier is usually covered too, but by the other route, the owner’s implied invitation, and that is a fact an owner can dispute. The workers’ compensation claim from the same bite runs alongside the dog bite claim rather than replacing it. The two systems pay for different things, and coordinating them is part of the work.

The dog ran off and nobody knows whose it is. What should I do?

Report the bite to Animal Services at (321) 633-2024 the same day, and tell your doctor that the dog is unaccounted for. When the dog cannot be located for the ten-day watch, health authorities are to contact you within 24 hours.¹⁸ The subject is post-exposure treatment, and those shots work by being started promptly. Without an identified owner there is nobody to bring the injury claim against. The search for the dog, its owner and any witnesses therefore matters twice over.

Working with Tiffany Whitehouse, Vonda, and Lauren at Andrew Pickett Law Firm was an amazing experience for me. They were really professional, attentive, and committed to my case from beginning to end. Their diligence and genuine concern for achieving the greatest result for me were what truly stood out. I genuinely felt like I was in good hands the entire time because of their dedication and teamwork, which made a difficult situation much easier to face. I got the best outcomes I could have imagined because of their hard work and knowledge. I am incredibly appreciative and would heartily suggest their team to anyone in need of legal assistance.

My experience is based on 2 settlements so far, still pending another case and 1 of the already settled cases M&M took but didn't want to keep after stringing me along for 4 months. So just choose Andrew Pickett Law, don't waste time with another injury attorney. Tiffany Whitehouse is great, she was confident in my cases, kept me informed and very accommodating. We didn't even have to go to court for those 2 cases. And because I had already trusted them with 2 cases, I also gave them a third case which settled quickly. My only regret, I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thanks for everything! I have already recommended my friends and clients and will continue.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiffany Whitehouse and her entire team. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, supported, and prioritized throughout my entire experience. Tiffany is an absolute powerhouse her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail truly set her apart from any attorney I’ve ever worked with. She knows her craft inside and out, and you can feel that level of expertise in every interaction. What really stood out to me was how responsive and efficient everyone was. Communication was always clear and timely, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Tiffany and her paralegal, Vonda, worked seamlessly together and made everything feel organized and stress-free. Vonda was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure I had what I needed. They both went above and beyond in ways that made a stressful situation feel manageable. I also want to recognize the admin team, especially Lauren and Hailey. They were so welcoming, helpful, and professional every time I interacted with them. It’s clear that this entire office operates with a high level of care, compassion, and dedication to their clients. Another thing that truly stood out to me was how thorough and patient everyone was when answering my questions. No matter how many I had, they took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood even if it took 20 minutes. That level of patience and dedication meant so much and made me feel confident every step of the way. What meant the most to me is that they didn’t treat me like just another case they truly cared about me as a person. They checked in regularly, made sure I felt supported, and consistently went the extra mile. That kind of genuine compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also truly invested in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Pickett Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you all SO incredibly much!
