Animal Attacks Happen All Too Frequently In The State Of Florida
Animal attacks happen all too frequently in the state of Florida.You might expect a serious attack by a pit bull to make headlines. But yellow jackets? Sturgeon? Elephants? Those and more creatures make up the hundreds of incidents recorded in Florida each year.
Now, how do you know when one of those attacks is due to negligence by another person or persons? We generally regard an animal attack as a neighbor's hungry pit bull wondering the streets and snaps at a would be rescuer. But remember where we live. It isn't always Fido doing the biting. Sometimes it's something a little less domestic.
Now, you may be saying to yourself: "If I get attacked by a wild animal, I have no recourse. It's an act of God." Well, God isn't the manager of that golf course you were playing on when an eight foot Gator insisted on playing through. When you told him to wait, he bit you. Luckily you hobbled to your golf cart and evaded death in a 14 mph escape. So now you go to the E.R and you have to tell them an angry gator who refused to wait his turn on the ninth hole, bit you.
What was a gator doing on the ninth hole? You pay dues to that Country Club to golf, not to get bitten. If the staff, security or any other personnel were aware of a gator on their property and failed to report it to game and wildlife, there is major cause for negligence. Anytime someone knowingly overlooks a potential threat to safety and proceeds with business as usual, they are putting people in harm's way. Whether it be a domestic animal or wild, someone let it in or out. Now, if you are doing the backstroke through the swamps in no-man's-land, you're on your own.
