I was bitten by my friend’s dog in Fort Lauderdale. Would it be wrong for me to file a dog bite injury claim against a friend?

It isn’t wrong to expect compensation for physical harm that cost you money and damaged your life. However, many people find the situation of pursuing compensation through a claim against a friend, neighbor, or colleague to be awkward. One point to remember, however, is that the source of the compensation you receive will likely be your friend’s homeowners or renters policy, not your friend. It’s not a bad idea to speak with an attorney before making any decisions.
