In Florida, you are allowed to pursue the recovery of both economic damages and non-economic damages in dog bite injury cases. The term “damage” simply means payment for harm. Your economic damages are the actual out-of-pocket expenses that you have incurred as a result of your injury. Often, this category of damages includes expenses for medical treatment as well as lost wages. Non-economic damages refer to the impacts on your life that were caused by the injury. This category of damages includes impacts such as physical pain and suffering and emotional distress.
