Can I Sue After Being Bitten By A Dog?

A: Whether or not you can sue a dog owner or property owner after being attacked by a dog depends on the circumstances of the dog bite incident. In Texas a dog’s owner may be liable for dog bite damages if he knew about the dog’s aggressive and dangerous history; was violating a local leash law; the dog attack was intentional; or if the owner was in some way negligent. To find out for sure whether or not you could receive compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, consult a Texas dog bite attorney.
