Dog Bites Honest Guidance. Personal Support.

Dallas Dog Bite Lawyers

Fighting for the Injured in Texas

Being attacked by a dog is a terrifying and traumatic experience that can leave you with severe physical and emotional scars. At Duke Seth PLLC, we understand the profound impact a dog bite can have on your life. Our skilled and dedicated legal team can help you navigate the complexities of Texas law and hold dog owners accountable for their negligence. 

The Impact of Dog Bite Injuries 

A dog bite is far more than just a surface wound. The injuries can be severe and life-altering, causing a range of physical and emotional trauma. Victims can suffer from deep puncture wounds, permanent scarring and disfigurement, nerve damage, broken bones, and a high risk of infection. 

The emotional and psychological toll can be just as devastating, leading to anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a lasting fear of dogs, especially in children. These injuries may require extensive medical treatment, including plastic or reconstructive surgery, which can result in significant medical bills and lost wages.

How Duke Seth PLLC Can Help Dog Bite Victims

The legal process for a dog bite claim can be complicated, and insurance companies often try to minimize their payout. 

Our firm can handle every aspect of your case:

  • Conducting a thorough investigation. We can work to uncover evidence that proves the dog owner's liability, such as prior aggressive behavior, violations of leash laws, or a history of previous bites.
  • Handling all communication. We can manage all communication with the dog owner's insurance company to protect you from being taken advantage of; this means your claim is taken seriously.
  • Calculating your damages. Our team works with medical and financial professionals to determine the full extent of your economic and non-economic damages, so we can fight for the compensation you are truly owed.

Why You Need Legal Representation

Proving a dog owner's liability often requires more than showing that a bite occurred. Texas law has the "one-bite rule." This requires you to demonstrate that the owner knew, or should have known, their dog had dangerous propensities or that the owner was negligent in controlling their pet. This is a high burden of proof that insurance companies will aggressively challenge. Without an experienced attorney, it's easy to make a mistake that could jeopardize your entire claim. 

Compensation You May Be Entitled to for Dog Bites

A successful dog bite claim can provide compensation for all the losses you've suffered. This may include:

  • Medical expenses. Coverage for all past and future medical or dental treatments, including emergency room visits, stitches, antibiotics, reconstructive surgery, tooth repair, and physical therapy.
  • Lost wages. Reimbursement for income lost while recovering from your injuries and any future loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work.
  • Pain and suffering. Compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and psychological trauma endured.
