Dog bite injuries can be physically and emotionally devastating. Texas law holds dog owners responsible when their negligence leads to an attack. Whether you were bitten at a park, at someone's home, at work, or on a public sidewalk, you may have the right to compensation for your injuries.
Texas Dog Bite Law
Texas follows a 'one bite' rule combined with general negligence principles. A dog owner can be held liable if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous, or if they failed to use reasonable care to control their animal. Evidence of prior aggressive behavior, lack of restraint, or violation of leash laws can all support your claim.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause puncture wounds, lacerations, crush injuries, nerve damage, scarring, disfigurement, and serious infections. Children are especially vulnerable. The physical injuries are often compounded by emotional trauma, including anxiety, PTSD, and fear of animals.
