Animal Attack Cases- We all love our pets. they provide companionship and support. The great basketball player, Bill Walton, has a sign on his desk which reads " Lord, help me to be the man my dog thinks I am."
The laws that govern a case where the negligence of a dog owner results in serious injury are sometimes misunderstood. If there is proof a dog has attacked before, the owner may be strictly liable. There are leash laws in every town and city. Texas recognizes a theory of recovery called negligent handing of an animal. Insurance coverage for a dog attack creates a need to put a dog owner's homeowner's insurance company on notice of a claim.
In these cases, several steps should be taken. 1) See a doctor immediately! Dogs mouths sometimes contain Pasteurella bacteria. It can cause serious problems, even in the case of a superficial scratch. 2) Contact animal control to see if the dog had been vaccinated or has been quarantined.3) Contact an experienced board-certified personal injury trial lawyer to take the steps needed to protect your rights.
An immediate investigation is essential. At Reinhard & Barnett our investigative efforts are second to none. Cliff Carpenter Jr., a former federal agent, directs our investigative team. We do not seek to level the playing field. By getting there first and talking to all available witnesses, our aim is to take the high ground and never relinquish it.

i have been engahed in the private practice of law for over four decades. I purposely limit my practice to the representation of people who need assistance in navigating our justice sysyem. i choose to represent individuals who need with personal injury, wrongful death and criminal cases.
i choose not to tepresent corporations, insuranc companies , banks or the government. i have many friends who work that sideI of the street and do so honorably. I discovered early on that reoresenting the people from all walks of life was where I belonged.
I can look back upon a career of many years and realize that these people have most iften ended up becoming friends. They have sent their friends anf familyto me.Many if them stay in touch with me.
I remember those people and smile. We were 90% of the time strangers. But we formed a bond by together facing down adversity . we were most iften opposed by multi billiom dollar corporations or the might of the State if Texas or the federal government. We came to trust and count in each other. we formed the unique bomd that can be created by facung down an intimidating opponent with huge resources it irs disposal. We almost always won because in the end our cause was just.
I have reached the point where the majority of my legal career is over-I now count as one of my greatesr blessings the people I have met along the way who don’t describe me as their lawyer anymore. They pay me a much higher honor. They call me “friend”.!For that I am grateful.
