When it comes to the many types of personal injuries that one can suffer, few injuries are as dangerous and devastating as dog bites in Dallas. Texas is one of the most dog friendly states in the U.S., and Dallas doubles as one of the biggest cities in Texas. The population of stray and adoptable dogs is so large that the city is even considering banning the sale of dogs in pet stores, so as to encourage residents to find breeders or rescue dogs from shelters. With so many animals, it is only inevitable that a dog bite will occur. If you or a loved one have been the victim of a dog bite in Dallas, Carabins Shaw’s dog attack attorneys in Dallas are the top experts who can help you.

One Bite RuleThe Texas “one bite rule” is a law that is important to understand when pursuing compensation after a dog owner’s negligence has led to an attack on you or your loved ones. While slightly confusing in name, this rule does not mean that a dog owner is not liable for the first time their dog attacks someone. Instead, it just means that the owner of a dog which has bitten someone in the past is more likely to be considered negligent for failing to stop a subsequent bite.
That being said, a dog owner may still be held liable under other circumstances even if the dog has never attacked anyone before. Proving negligence is at the core of a dog bite case.
