Dog attacks cause severe, often permanent, injuries — especially to children. Texas law is complicated, but an owner is rarely off the hook. Let us walk you through it.
Texas is a "one-bite" state in legal theory — but in practice, owners are liable under multiple theories: negligence, negligence per se (violation of leash laws), and strict liability in certain circumstances. Children are the most common victims, and injuries frequently require reconstructive surgery and leave permanent scarring. Homeowner or renter insurance typically covers these claims.
Homeowner insurance carriers dispute dog-bite claims aggressively. They challenge the identity of the dog, the ownership, and the severity. Photographs, animal-control reports, and medical documentation — gathered quickly — are the evidence that wins these cases.
