Animal Attacks and Dog Bites

Dangerous As a Matter of Law …

Chris Dorbandt & Associates, Attorneys & Counselors at Law — Austin, Texas

If you have been the victim of an animal attack, immediately obtain the proper medical treatment and document your injuries. Then, seek the advice and representation of an experienced attorney. The sooner you do, the better your chances will be to recover compensation for those injuries.

An Experienced Legal Team

For nearly a decade, the personal injury lawyers at Chris Dorbandt & Associates have been helping dog bite and animal attack victims in Austin and surrounding areas such as Travis, Williamson, and Hays Counties. Our practice encompasses central Texas and we routinely recover compensation from negligent dog owners.

When animals cause injury, Texas law imposes liability on animal owners. This includes owners of vicious dogs and exotic pets as well as wild animals such as lions, tigers, snakes or reptiles, and alligators. Liability can also attach to the owners of unleashed or loose dogs, and owners of certain breeds which have been declared dangerous as a matter of law.

While it is not always easy to prove that the animal owners knew or should have known of their animal's vicious tendencies, a claim of negligence can still be made even on a "first time" bite. Our experienced legal team includes a full-time claims manager with 40 years of personal injury experience; and attorneys who know how to obtain results for dog bite and animal attack victims.

It is important to take quick action. If we can start our investigation of the case within a few days, we have a much better chance of resolving your claim fairly and with minimal delay or expense.

Don't minimize the potential of your claim!

Do not make any statements, and don't agree to sign anything from anyone. Remember, even if you feel like you're partially responsible for the animal attack, you may still be able to recover in a lawsuit for part of the damages.
