Frequently Asked Questions
What is Texas's one bite rule?
+Texas follows a negligence-based approach. A dog owner may be liable if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous, or if they were negligent in controlling the dog. Prior aggressive behavior is strong evidence.
What if the dog had never bitten anyone before?
+You may still have a claim if the owner was negligent in controlling the dog, violating leash laws, or if the dog showed prior aggressive behavior such as growling or snapping.
Who pays for a dog bite claim?
+Most dog bite claims are paid by the dog owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance policy. We work directly with insurance companies to secure your compensation.
