Dog bites are traumatic and can lead to serious injuries requiring medical attention. Dog owners in Texas are responsible for the actions of their dogs, and dog bite victims can take legal action to recover damages. Texas law has specific rules that dog owners must follow. Understanding these rules is important when you are seeking compensation for your dog bite injury.
Texas law holds dog owners strictly responsible for injuries caused by their dogs. It doesn't matter if the owner knew or didn't know about the aggressive nature of their dog, they will still be liable for damages caused by the pet. It is easier for dog bite victims to get compensation for their injuries.
Texas has strict liability and a "one-bite rule" in addition. If a dog previously bit someone, then the owner knows the dog is aggressive and can be held responsible for damages if it bites again. If the dog does not have a history of biting, and the owner was unaware of the aggressive tendencies of the dog, then they could be able to defend themselves against liability.
