El Paso Dog Bite Attorney

If you have suffered an animal attack injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Whether an owner of an animal who attacks someone is liable under Texas law depends on several factors. An expert dog bite attorney can pierce the judicial veil and determine if you are entitled to damages.

Determining legal liability for animal attacks in Texas turns on the following factors:

• Whether the owner did not take proper care of the animal

• Whether the owner sent the animal to attack on purpose

• The animal bit before, or was a dangerous breed

• The owner broke local ordinances

An animal attack that was caused by the owner's violation of local ordinance may impute liability for any injuries. Any resulting damage from such an animal attack may be legally actionable in Texas under a "negligence per se" theory. Negligence per se simply means that the animal owner is liable because the owner broke the law.

Proving negligence per se is complex. You need a skilled dog bite attorney to interpret the law and apply your case to the law. The facts of every animal attack case are different. Contact the attorneys at O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath today. They specialize in animal attack cases.
