Dog Bite Injuries: Holding Owners Accountable.

Dog attacks cause serious injuries — especially to children. Puncture wounds, infections, scarring, nerve damage, and the emotional trauma that follows. The dog's owner may be responsible, and their homeowner's insurance may cover the claim.

Why These Cases Matter

🏥

Medical Complexity

Dog bites aren't simple cuts. Deep puncture wounds trap bacteria causing serious infections including sepsis. Nerve and tendon damage requires surgical repair. Facial injuries — especially to children — require plastic surgery. Rabies exposure requires immediate prophylactic treatment. We ensure your medical costs are fully documented and compensated.

🧠

Emotional & Psychological Trauma

The psychological impact of a dog attack — especially on children — can be profound: PTSD, fear of animals, nightmares, anxiety, and behavioral changes. These are real, compensable damages that insurance companies try to minimize. We don't let them.

🏠

Homeowner's Insurance Recovery

Most dog bite claims are paid by the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance policy. We know how to navigate these claims and fight for everything you are owed.

Dog Bite Cases We Handle

Texas follows a "one-bite" rule modified by negligence principles. If the owner knew the dog was dangerous — prior bites, aggressive behavior, breed-specific risks — they're strictly liable. Even without prior knowledge, owners can be liable for negligence: failing to leash the dog, inadequate fencing, letting the dog roam, or failing to warn visitors.

We handle dog bite cases involving children attacked in neighborhoods and parks, mail carriers and delivery workers bitten on the job, joggers and pedestrians attacked by unleashed dogs, tenants bitten by dogs in apartment complexes (where the landlord may share liability), and severe mauling cases requiring reconstructive surgery.

Dog bite cases can be more complex than they appear. The owner may deny the dog was theirs. The insurance company may argue provocation. Apartment complexes claim they didn't know about the dangerous dog. We investigate ownership records, animal control reports, prior complaints, and witness statements to build an airtight case.

If you or your child was bitten by a dog, call 281-357-5297. Document the dog, the owner, and your injuries — then let us handle the rest.

Common Questions

Does the 'one-bite rule' mean the first bite is free? +
No. Even if the dog has never bitten anyone before, the owner can be liable for negligence — failing to restrain the dog, ignoring aggressive behavior, or violating leash laws. The 'one-bite rule' is just one theory of liability among several.
What if the dog owner is a friend or neighbor? +
We understand the relationship concern. The claim is paid by their homeowner's insurance, not out of their pocket. Most dog bite cases resolve through insurance without damaging personal relationships.
What compensation can I receive for a dog bite? +
Medical bills (including plastic surgery and future treatment), pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, psychological trauma and therapy costs, lost wages, and property damage. For children, the emotional and developmental impact is a significant factor.
