Dog Bites

Dog-bite liability, owner duties, and injury claims.

Move to a safe distance, stop the bleeding, clean the wound, find out whose dog it was, and write down what happened.

This section covers animal attacks in Louisiana and Texas: who is responsible when a dog bites, how the two states treat an owner’s knowledge of the animal, which breeds and bite types cause the most serious injuries, and what a bite victim should do first. Homeowner and renter insurance questions are covered on the insurance claims pages.
