After a Serious Dog Attack

When a Dog Bite Attorney Can Help

A dog attack is frightening, and the injuries can be serious, especially for children. Here is what shapes your claim.

The Injuries

Puncture wounds, torn tissue, nerve damage, and permanent scarring, with children hurt most often.

Which State's Rule Applies

Texas follows a version of the one-bite rule, which asks whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous. Louisiana holds owners to a stricter standard.

Who Actually Pays

Most claims are paid through the owner's homeowner or renter insurance, not out of a neighbor's pocket.

A dog bite attorney who practices in both states can tell you exactly where your case stands.

Answers to what Phillip hears most from people hurt in a dog attack.

Need more help? Contact Phillip today
The dog had never bitten anyone before, do I still have a case?

Maybe. It depends on the state and the facts. Louisiana's standard is stricter than Texas's one-bite approach. Phillip will explain how it applies to you.

I do not want to sue a friend or neighbor, what happens to them?

Most claims are paid by the owner's homeowner or renter insurance, not out of pocket. Phillip can explain how that usually works.

My child was bitten, is that handled differently?

Yes, claims involving minors have special considerations, and the long-term impact of scarring and trauma is weighed carefully. Phillip handles these with sensitivity.

What does a dog bite attorney cost?

Nothing upfront. The consultation is free and the case runs on contingency, so there is no fee unless Phillip wins or settles.
