Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Dog Bite & Animal Attacks

Last year in Jacksonville and North Florida there were thousands of adults and children attacked or bitten by dogs. The Law Offices of Henry E. Gare represent children and adults who have been bitten and attacked by dogs in our city. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that, nationwide, there are approximately 4.7 million dog bites annually and that more than 850,000 dog bites required medical attention.

The Law Offices of Henry Gare has handled hundreds of cases involving all breeds including Pit Bull attacks, Rottweiler attacks, German Shepherd and Chow dog bites in Jacksonville.

It is not necessary for a victim in Florida to prove that the dog was known to be vicious or had a propensity to bite. All that must be proved is that a defendant owned a dog. That the dog bit the victim and that the victim was lawfully where they should have been.

The most important aspect in dealing with a dog attack or bite is to gather as much evidence as possible. This includes identifying the dog’s owners, taking a photograph of the dog, writing down any eyewitness names and phone numbers, and immediately calling the police and Animal Control.

If you or a member of your family has been a victim of a dog bite or animal attack contact the Jacksonville Law Offices of Henry E. Gare online or call (904) 387-6101. All consultations are free and confidential.

Trucking Collisions

Trucking Collisions

Because of the large size of tractor-trailers and the enormous amount of trucks on our Florida roads we are all at risk of being injured in an accident. Most collisions of this sort are due to a truck driver’s negligent behavior or insufficient truck maintenance.

At the Law Offices of Henry Gare the most common causes that we see are the following:

  • Inadequate or no driver training.
  • Truck drivers overscheduled by trucking companies resulting in speeding or inadequate rest periods.
  • Commercial drivers allowed to drive even with a record of traffic violations and accidents.
  • Driving while drowsy or suffering fatigue, under the influence of prescription or illegal drugs, or while intoxicated.
  • Negligent maintenance of significant safety components of tractor-trailer such as tires and brakes.
  • Load exceeds a truck’s weight limit or is balanced incorrectly.

If you or a loved one have been hurt because of someone else’s fault in a Jacksonville trucking accident, contact the Law Offices of Henry E. Gare online or call (904) 387-6101. The consultation is always free.
