Texas Injury Attorney - San Antonio Trial Lawyer
Every year, millions of Americans are attacked by animals. In fact, in 1994, over 4.7 million people were bitten by dogs alone. In many cases, the victim of a dog bite or animal attack may have a legal right to recover damages from the animal's owner or another responsible party.
Texas law supports imposition of liability in three instances pertaining to injuries caused by animals. First, the possessor of the domestic animal is strictly liable if that animal has known vicious propensities and injures someone. Second, the owner or keeper of an animal may be liable for negligent handling if the animal injures someone, even if the animal is not vicious. Finally, a landlord is negligent if a vicious dog injures someone in an area controlled by the landlord and the landlord had actual or imputed knowledge of the dog's vicious tendencies. In addition, local ordinances may establish a duty or standard of care pertaining to what is required of dog owners.
