Common Dog Bite & Dog Attack Scenarios


A dog bite or dog attack can happen anywhere and at anytime here in the Fort Worth - Dallas - Arlington area. However, we most commonly see these tragic attacks happen either at the residence of the dog owner or very nearby their house. If you or your child has been bitten by a dog and is suffering injuries as a consequence, it is recommended that you consult with a Texas personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal rights and options to pursue compensation for your pain and suffering.

If the dog attack occurs at the home of the dog's owner, it is usually a scenario where the dog feels threatened and is being protective. However, if the dog is known dangerous to bite or attack, then the dog owner has a duty to his or her guests to protect them from being attacked by the aggressive dog. Common sense dictates the dog needs to be put in the backyard or elsewhere when guests are at the house.

If a dog attack occurs outside the owner's property, it usually happens because the dog's owner has not properly secured the dog. At the Anderson Law Firm, we have handled cases where the dog's owner has negligently left the gates to the backyard open, negligently failed to repair old fences (enabling the dog to easily escape), or negligently tied their dog up in the front yard. In all cases it was the dog owner's own negligence which allowed the dog to roam free.

Sometimes the vicious dog attacks happen when the dog is at a public outing. These can even happen when the dog owner is walking the dog on a leash. Clearly, if the owner knows his or her dog has any sort of dangerous propensities, all precautions should be taken and the dog should not be taken to a public place, even if on a leash.

If you have questions about your legal rights after you have sustained injuries from a dog bite or dog attack, you can contact us in Fort Worth at 817-294-1900, in Dallas at 214-327-8000 or elsewhere in Texas at 877-294-1115.
