I'm looking for anyone with experience in this area ,, especially if you are a lawyer in Florida.

I just had a dogbite case against me dismissed after a fight that went on for over 4 years. The dog did bite but in defense of me , the case truly had no merit and the plaintiff made ridiculous claims such as "permanent disability" that had no basis in fact and were disproved with video exhibits (and a total lack of medical documentation).

I had about 500 hours of surveillance in this fight and about $1000 in miscellaneous out of pocket expenses. The case is now dismissed (they voluntarily dismissed when I issued subpoena's for their imaginary doctors).

This is in FLORIDA , Can I realistically go after them for my expenses and if so what is the statute of limitations on such an action?

Have no legal advice but your dog should get some extra pats and "good boy"s.

Shame that you had to go through legal trouble for it.

Why?

Dog did exactly what a dog is suppose to do. He defended his human.

Sheesh. No wonder this country is in trouble.
