Houston Dog Bite Lawyer for Animal Attack Injuries

When Animal Attacks Cause Harm

Dog bites and animal attacks can cause lasting injuries, from puncture wounds to infections and scarring. Children are often the most vulnerable, and the trauma can be both physical and emotional. At the Law Office of Frederick K. Wilson II, we represent victims of dog bite cases across Houston, holding negligent owners accountable for failing to control their animals.

Insurance Companies and Dog Bite Claims

Homeowner’s and renter’s insurance often cover dog bite cases, but insurers frequently downplay injuries or shift blame onto victims. Frederick knows what insurance companies look for in these cases because of his years of experience training adjusters. That knowledge helps him counter unfair arguments and push for fair compensation.

Dog Bite Risks Across Houston

From city parks to suburban neighborhoods in Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands, dog attacks happen across Houston. Whether it’s a neighbor’s pet or a stray animal, Frederick applies local knowledge and legal persistence to pursue justice for victims of these injuries.

FAQs

About Dog Bite Claims

  • Can I sue if the dog never bit anyone before?

    Yes. Texas law allows claims even if the dog had no prior history of aggression, depending on the circumstances.

  • What damages can I recover?

    Medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and compensation for scarring or disfigurement.

  • Do I need to prove negligence?

    Often, yes. We investigate whether the owner failed to restrain the dog or ignored local ordinances.
