Dog Bite Injuries
Bitten by a dog in Houston? You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
A dog attack can leave both physical and emotional scars. At Leatherwood Law, we fight for dog bite victims throughout Houston and surrounding areas—helping them recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Whether you were bitten by an off-leash dog in a neighborhood, attacked while walking in a park, or your child was injured on someone else’s property, we’ll hold negligent dog owners accountable under Texas law.
Dog bites can result in serious injuries including puncture wounds, nerve damage, disfigurement, and infections. In some cases, victims may require reconstructive surgery or long-term therapy. Texas law allows victims to seek compensation if the owner failed to control a dangerous dog or prevent the attack.
At Leatherwood Law, we understand the trauma involved in these cases. Our legal team will thoroughly investigate the circumstances, gather evidence, and deal directly with insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
