On the Property

Dog Bites

Physical, emotional, and financial consequences that are far-reaching — in both Texas and Tennessee.

A dog attack is traumatic in a way the medical record does not capture. The physical injuries can be severe — particularly for children, who are bitten on the face and neck far more often than adults — and what follows can include reconstructive surgery, permanent scarring, and a fear that does not fade on the same schedule as the wound.

Texas and Tennessee handle owner liability differently, and the rules governing what an owner knew about their animal's history can decide a case. Being licensed in both states means these cases do not have to be referred out when they cross a line on a map.

Andre Thomas guides bite victims through the legal complexities in both jurisdictions, addressing the physical, emotional, and financial consequences that are genuinely far-reaching.
