Dog Bite Lawyer in Houston

Bitten by a dog in Houston?

Injuries from a dog bite can be quite serious. Not only do they produce much physical pain, there is often a severe emotional toll that accompanies the injury. Injuries can mean extensive medical bills and possible lost wages due to an inability to work, and a very serious dog bite can also result in death. It's important to contact a Houston personal injury attorney if you or someone you know has suffered a dog bite. My law firm, Patricia M. Davis, Attorney at Law, is experienced and knowledgeable concerning the dog bite law in Houston. I can help you determine if you have a legitimate claim, and if so, I will help you recover fair compensation for your injury.

Our state is a "one bite state." Broadly, this means that if a dog bites a person for the first time, the owner will not be held responsible. If, however, the dog had a record of biting someone previously, then the owner could be found liable. Additionally, even if the dog had not bitten anyone previously but the owner knew that the dog had a propensity to bite, he could be found liable. There are other aspects to the dog bite law in Houston, and consulting with a qualified lawyer would be a smart first step.
