    What Are Some Common Injuries From Dog Bites?

    After a dog bites you, you may suffer from physical injuries that outlast the initial bite, some of which include:

    • Lacerations;
    • Bleeding;
    • Nerve damage;
    • Broken bones;
    • Tissue scarring;
    • Rabies infection;
    • Pasteurella infection;
    • MRSA infection.

    Who is Liable For My Injuries?

    According to Texas state law, if you are the property management or the owner/possessor of the dog who has inflicted the bite, you are responsible for any damages brought on to the victim. 

    • Property Management: May be held liable for the injuries sustained if they fail to rid the area of a known dangerous dog or fail to give proper warning to those in the area about the potential danger of the animal(s) on-site.
    • Owner/Possessor of the dog: After a dog bite, the owner or the possessor of the dog may be held liable for negligence. For example, the owner or possessor might repeatedly allow the dog to be off-leash or fail to properly train or control the dog in public or private settings.
