How Our Attorneys Help Dog Bite Victims
Our injury lawyers approach every dog bite case with a thorough strategy, which includes the following:
- Comprehensive investigation: Our lawyers gather all evidence, including medical reports, witness statements, and prior incident records involving the dog or its owner.
- Knowledge of Texas law: Texas has specific laws regarding liability in dog bite cases, which can be challenging to understand without a legal background. Our lawyers are familiar with these regulations and can determine the approach that will likely be most effective for each case.
- Skillful negotiation and litigation: Our attorneys can negotiate directly with insurance companies to pursue a fair settlement. When the insurance company doesn’t offer just compensation, we are always trial-ready and can take the case to court.
Common Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can result in serious and sometimes permanent injuries, such as the following:
- Puncture wounds and deep lacerations
- Infections, such as rabies and bacterial infections
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Our lawyers will work closely with medical experts and psychologists to fully assess the impact of these injuries on your life and pursue maximum compensation for all damages.
Protecting Your Rights As A Victim
Many dog bite victims are unaware of their rights and may not realize that they are entitled to compensation for damages. Texas follows a “one-bite rule,” which can complicate cases if the dog has no prior record of aggression. However, there are often exceptions and additional factors that can establish owner negligence. Our attorneys will review the details of your case to determine the best strategy to achieve a favorable outcome.
