Texas Dog Bite Lawyer

Dog Bite Injury Claims

Although Texas does not have a dog bite statute, there are certain ways that you may be able to bring a claim against a dog owner for the actions of their dog. The first way is through the “one-bite” rule. This rule states if a dog has bitten a person in the past, then the dog owner is on notice of their dog’s dangerous nature, and they have a greater duty to prevent it from happening again. A claim may also be brought if the dog owner should have known that the dog would likely bite another person, previous incidents indicating aggression, or other negligent actions by the dog owner. 

Our experienced team will immediately launch an investigation into the incident, the dog owner, and any witnesses that saw the incident. We will take on the task of building your case and helping you navigate your legal needs following this traumatic experience. This will allow you and your family to focus on healing and moving past this traumatic event. 

If you are bit by a dog in Texas, you should: 

1. Seek medical care immediately 
2. Call the local authorities to report the incident 
3. Take photographs of your injuries, the location where the incident occurred, and the dog if possible 
4. Take down information for any persons that may have witnessed the incident 
5. Consult with an experienced dog bite lawyer
