Dog Bites

San Antonio, Texas Dog Bites Attorneys

Under Texas state law, a dog owner is liable for injuries that result from an attack or bite by his or her dog. In general, if a dog has previously bitten someone, if an attack occurred in a public place where the dog was allowed to run free, or if a dog owner failed to control his or her dog, the victim can sue the dog owner for financial damages.

At the Law Offices of Ed Goldner, we work with medical experts and medical economists in determining the scope and financial impact of dog bite injuries on our clients. We interview witnesses, investigate holding pens and fences, and identify negligence on the part of dog owners. We consider costs associated with reconstructive surgery, emergency room treatment, emotional trauma, and lost wages.

Dog Bites and Children

Children do not have the mental maturity or understanding of danger to discern when to approach and not approach a dog. For that reason, dog owners are strictly liable for dog bites involving children - even in cases where a child enters onto the property of a dog owner without the owner's permission. Dog attacks often leave children emotionally traumatized. In cases where a dog owner demonstrated gross negligence or a flagrant disregard for the safety of a child, we demand compensation for our client's pain and suffering as well.
