Dog Bite Personal Injury Liability
There are many factors that go into litigating a dog bite case. Some of which include:
- Dog's temperament
- Warning signage
- Possible provocation
- Other state laws
The state of Texas follows the “one bite rule”. Under the “one bite rule” liability may be established if:
- The owner knows the dog has attacked before
- The dog bite was caused by negligence on the part of the handler
- The incident was caused by a leash law or animal control law violation
- Or if the handler intentionally caused the dog attack
Though negligence or “negligence per se” can be established depending upon various factors. Perhaps the dog was in an inappropriate setting. Or maybe the handler was violating municipal or county regulations while the attack took place. Establishing liability can be difficult and it is best to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side.
