If you were attacked in Florida, then you need to retain counsel here in Florida. Your medical bills wont cover your pain and suffering damages, which they also would need to pay. If they rent or own a home, the dog owner is most likely covered by a liability insurance policy. Don't settle for... Read more »

The general rule is that if a person dies leaving a surviving spouse, the spouse would have a life estate in the marital home, which means she has a right to live there until her death.
