Finding the Best Texas Lawyer for Your Dog Bite Case


Dog injury, dog bite and dog attack cases are unfortunately very common in Texas. As a Fort Worth personal injury attorney, I hear from clients all the time that have been injured by somebody else's dog and want to know what they can legally do about it. If you or your child has been attacked by a neighbor's dog, you should contact a Dallas-Fort Worth dog bite lawyer immediately for advice on your legal rights and responsibilities.

Now, just because you're injured by another dog, doesn't mean you are entitled to compensation. In Texas, we have what's called the one bite rule. Although the one bite rule is kind of silly, it can be difficult and time consuming to overcome. That's because to prevail on this claim you have to be able to prove that the owner of the dog knew, or should have known the dangerous propensities of that dog. Most of the time, this means you have to prove that the dog has bitten somebody else or done something similar before. That means gathering evidence by talking to neighbors and talking to folks that know the dog owners.

You can also recover if the owner was negligent in handling the dog. Many dog bites occur due to the negligence of the owner. But these cases also require an investigation.

This is why it is so important to hire an attorney who has successfully handled many dog bite cases. If you or your child has been bitten by a dog you need a lawyer with the time, resources and know-how to collect this evidence. In the Anderson Law Firm's experience, we can normally find the kind of information we need to be successful.

Once you or a loved one is bitten by a dog, you need to consult with an experienced Tarrant County injury lawyer. If you have questions regarding a dog bite case, call the Anderson Law Firm at 817-294-1900.
