Advocating for Defendants in Dog Bite Cases Throughout Higalo County & South Texas
Whether the bite occurred at your home, on your property, or while walking your dog, the legal and financial consequences can be serious. Texas law allows for both strict liability and negligence-based claims in certain circumstances, making it crucial to have a skilled attorney on your side who understands how to challenge the evidence, question liability, and assert your legal defenses.
Texas’ Dog Bite Laws
Beyond the one-bite doctrine, dog owners in Texas can also face liability through a negligence claim. If the owner fails to take reasonable steps to supervise or restrain the animal, and that failure leads to an injury, they may be found negligent.
Common Legal Defenses in Dog Bite Cases
Each case is unique, but possible defenses may include:
- Provocation: The person bitten provoked or antagonized the dog, leading to the attack.
- Trespassing: The injured party was unlawfully on private property.
- Lack of prior knowledge: The dog had no history of aggression, and you had no reason to believe it was dangerous.
- Assumption of risk: The victim knew about the risk of injury and continued to interact with the dog.
We thoroughly investigate the incident and gather critical evidence to make your side of the story heard. Our team at Griffith Law Group is skilled in raising strong, fact-based defenses to guard dog owners from unfair or exaggerated claims.
