Dealing With Dog Bites & Attacks in South Texas

Anyone bitten or attacked by a dog knows how devastating and traumatic an incident it can be.  Thousands suffer from dog bites each year across the United States, with several dozen people losing their lives as a result of them.  The wounds they inflict often cause severe injuries, many resulting in disfigurement requiring extensive plastic and reconstructive surgeries.  If you or someone you know has been bitten or attacked by a dog, it is important to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney from the Malaise Law Firm to discuss your case and determine the best legal course of action to take.

Injuries in a dog bite can lead to extensive medical treatment and long recovery periods.  Being both physically and emotionally disturbing, these injuries can scar a person for the rest of their life.  There may even be nerve and muscle damage, resulting in an inability to continue gainful employment.

It is vital to determine who the owner of the dog is in order to pursue compensation for your losses.  Any pet owner has a responsibility to ensure their dog is kept in a proper enclosure, especially if they are the type of dog who might be aggressive towards people.  Certain types of dogs are known to be hostile, such as pit bulls and rottweilers, and owners should be held accountable if their pet attacked and hurt someone.
