Question:
A dog knocked me over and caused an injury; do I have a claim even if there was no bite?
Answer:
I’m often asked this question as a dog bite attorney. The dog just knocked me down. Do I have a claim? Can I do anything? My answer is always, yes, you do have a claim. Not all injuries are bites. This is something that happens quite often. The dog is excited, isn’t being aggressive, but the dog is jumping around and somebody falls. You could end up with a broken hip, a broken knee. We’ve handled a number of these cases.
We just resolved a case for a lady who was a nurse here in Houston. She got home from a late shift helping during our current medical crisis. When she got home, she took her dog out for a walk. Somebody opened a door and let their dog out, not on a leash, and their dog started a fight with her dog. She got knocked down in the middle of it. She had to have knee surgery and was out of work for four months. One of the first questions she asked me was, “Do I even have a claim? The dog didn’t bite me. The dog didn’t even touch me. What do I do?” I said, good thing you hired a trial attorney who handles these kinds of cases and knows what’s going on.
Sure enough, from the get-go, we started collecting the evidence necessary to be successful with her case. We went through the process of what we do. Ultimately, she was compensated for her medical bills and for what she went through. She was grateful and was really surprised, since she wasn’t even bitten by the dog. That’s the misnomer, that you have to be bitten by a dog to have a claim. It’s based on the injuries.. Were you injured by a dog? If you were injured by a dog, call a trial attorney. Let me help you out.
