Sure. You just need to contact one and see what they say. Dog bite cases on the street are tough as you have to be able to ID the owner of the dog, but you will need to get a lawyer on board to guide you on that for sure. The key is not just holding the owner liable its finding the means to actually collect for damages.

Yes, your son can sue and any recovery will be placed in trust for him until he reaches the age of majority. Retain counsel here in Florida on contingency fee which means you dont pay anything unless you win. The dog owner is strictly liable and if the dog owner is renting, then the landlord can be held liable on a theory of negligence.
