In a shocking incident that underscores the importance of safety and responsibility, a man was viciously attacked by a dog during a job interview, leading to severe injuries. The plaintiff, Jake Strober, filed a complaint on March 6, 2025, in the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Clix Flow, LLC and Kyle McEntee. The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $50,000 due to the alleged negligence and strict liability associated with the attack.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on May 16, 2024. Jake Strober visited Clix Flow, LLC's premises in Delray Beach for a job interview when he was unexpectedly attacked by a Pitbull as he entered the office. This attack resulted in significant and permanent injuries to Strober. The complaint outlines two counts: premises liability against Clix Flow, LLC and strict liability against Kyle McEntee. According to the filing, Clix Flow failed to maintain its premises safely and did not warn of potential dangers such as an aggressive dog on site. As per Florida law referenced in the complaint (Florida Dept of Natural Resources v. Garcia), property owners owe invitees like Strober a duty to ensure safety and warn of known hazards.
The second count accuses Kyle McEntee of strict liability under Florida Statutes § 767.01 and § 767.04 concerning dog bites. It asserts that McEntee had control over the dog responsible for attacking Strober and is therefore liable for all damages caused by it. The plaintiff claims these injuries have led to ongoing physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, medical expenses, and other related losses which are either permanent or will continue into the future.
Strober seeks judgment against both defendants for damages exceeding $50,000 each plus interest and costs associated with his injuries from this traumatic event. He also demands a jury trial to address all triable issues within this case.
Representing Jake Strober is attorney Deneb Martinez from Weinstein Legal Team based in Fort Lauderdale. The case is filed under Case Number 502025CA002103XXXAMB.
