Strategic FAQs.

Texas follows a version of the 'one-bite rule,' meaning an owner can be liable if they knew the dog was dangerous. However, you can also recover by proving the owner was negligent in controlling the animal, even if it hadn't bitten anyone before.
Most dog bite claims are paid through homeowners or renters insurance, not out of the owner's pocket. Pursuing a claim is about accessing the insurance coverage they pay for precisely for these types of accidents.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the attack to file a lawsuit. For children, the timeline may be different, but it is always best to act immediately to preserve evidence and witness memory.
You can recover for medical bills, future plastic surgery, lost wages, pain and suffering, and psychological trauma. Because dog bites often involve permanent scarring, the non-economic damages can be significant.
Seek medical attention immediately—dog bites have a high risk of infection. Take photos of your injuries and the location, get the owner's information, identify any witnesses, and report the attack to animal control
