Last month, we saw a story about Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott and his two dogs. His dogs apparently got out through an unsecure door, and began fighting with a neighbor’s dog. The neighbor tried to stop the fight and was bitten by one of Dak’s dogs.
The injury was not life threatening, but the victim was taken to a local hospital to get checked out. The dog that bit the neighbor was placed in quarantine at the Collin County Animal Shelter, and a hearing will determine if the dog is dangerous.
This is not a slam on dogs. In fact, everyone at the Harris Firm owns a dog. Unfortunately, accidents occur and a child or an adult can get bitten.
On a sidenote, homeowner’s insurance may cover damages the victim may incur as a result of a dog bite, when the dog is not owned by the victim.
The Harris Firm has experience in prosecuting dog bite cases for victims of dog attacks. If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, please feel free to contact us for more information.
