“The neighbor’s dog knocked me over and bit my leg. Kyle held them accountable—and won me 5X more than the insurance company’s original offer.”

— Manuel R., Houston, TX – Dog Bite Injurie
The attack left Manuel with a torn calf muscle and nerve damage that made walking extremely difficult.

The dog had been reported before—but the owners hadn’t taken any action. Their insurance company offered a token settlement, barely enough to cover the ambulance ride. Kyle stepped in, documented the long history of negligence, and brought in expert testimony on the extent of Manuel’s injuries and future care. The case settled for over five times the original offer, allowing Manuel to afford multiple surgeries, rehab, and in-home support during his recovery.

Dog Bite Injuries Are More Than Skin Deep!

A dog bite can change your life in an instant—especially when it’s your child, your parent, or you who’s injured. Dog bites don’t just leave physical scars—they leave emotional and financial ones too. Victims often deal with medical bills, emergency surgeries, ongoing trauma, and scarring or disfigurement. In many cases, the bites are severe enough to cause permanent damage.

At Herbert Trial Law, we help clients get compensation for:

  • ER visits, stitches, and surgeries
  • Ongoing medical care or physical therapy
  • Lost wages if you’re out of work
  • Pain and suffering, especially with permanent scarring
  • Psychological trauma, especially in children

Don’t assume the dog owner will “do the right thing.”
Their insurance company already has a legal team—you need one too.

Who’s Responsible After a Dog Bite?

Texas law holds dog owners accountable—but determining liability isn’t always straightforward. What if the dog was off-leash but escaped through a broken fence? What if the owner claims your child provoked the dog? These gray areas are where the insurance companies try to shift blame. That’s why you need a legal team like Herbert Trial Law to gather the right evidence and prove fault clearly.

In Texas, dog owners can be held responsible if they:

  • Failed to leash or restrain their dog
  • Knew their dog had a history of aggression
  • Violated local leash laws
  • Let a dog roam loose in a residential area

Texas doesn’t have a “one-bite rule”—but it does allow injury victims to
recover damages if negligence is proven. That’s where we come in.

At Herbert Trial Law, we investigate quickly to gather evidence,
interview witnesses, and fight for maximum compensation.

Dog Bite FAQs

Our Attorneys Are Always Ready to Answer Your Questions

After a dog bite injury, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure of your next steps. At Herbert Trial Law, we’re here to guide you with clear answers, strong legal support, and a deep commitment to justice. If you don’t see your question below, feel free to reach out—we’re just a call, text, or email away.

Do I really need a lawyer for a dog bite injury?

Yes. Insurance companies will try to downplay your injury or blame you. We protect your rights and maximize your recovery.

Who pays for a dog bite injury?

Usually, it’s the dog owner’s homeowners or renters insurance policy—not the dog owner personally.

What if the bite wasn’t reported right away?

We can still help. The sooner you call, the better we can document the facts.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. In Texas, you generally have 2 years—but evidence fades fast, so don’t wait.

What if the dog owner claims they’re not responsible?

Dog owners often deny blame—but that doesn’t make them right. We gather the evidence, prove liability, and fight for every dollar you deserve.
