After a dog bite injury in Fort Worth, Texas, you may be eligible for compensation from the owner of the animal that attacked you. In Texas, dog owners may bear liability for damages caused by their pets, including injuries from bites and attacks. If you suffered physical harm that required medical care or time away from work, or if a loved one died after enduring dog bite injuries, the dog owner should bear those costs. They may also owe you compensation for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other noneconomic losses.
The Fort Worth dog bite lawyers at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help connect victims with the compensation they deserve. We may investigate the owner of the dog that bit you and go after them for compensation. We can help you get paid and get on with your life. And because we believe our clients should pay for results only, we never collect a fee until we win your case.
If you want compensation for your dog bite injury in Fort Worth, call in the Strong Arm. Contact Loncar Lyon Jenkins today by calling 800-777-7777.
We Can Help You Recover Compensation for Your Fort Worth Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites are often more than minor annoyances. They can lead to serious injuries, infections, and medical complications. A bite may require you to undergo extensive medical care, including rabies shots and wound suturing. If the bite is deep enough or in certain locations of the body—such as the face—you may need reconstructive surgery. You may also have to deal with infections brought on by the bite. All of this care costs money, sometimes a prohibitive sum. The owner of the dog should be the one to pay, not you.
In addition to the medical bills and other financial costs associated with a dog bite—such as your time away from work and reduced future earning capacity—the responsible party should compensate you for the physical and emotional pain you have endured because of the attack.
Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you fight for the compensation you deserve for your injury. Our Fort Worth dog bite lawyers may help you recover money for:
Medical Bills
We can help you recover compensation not just for the medical bills you have already incurred, but also for those we can anticipate you will incur in the future. Your medical expenses may include the cost of surgery, hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription medication, rehabilitation, and much more.
Lost Wages
A dog bite that is severe enough can force you to miss work, sometimes for an extended period. We can take on the responsible party or parties and make sure they compensate you for the income you have lost.
Reduced Earning Capacity
If your earning capacity has been lessened on a long-term basis because of your injury, we can help you recover compensation to make up the difference in your loss of income.
Pain and Suffering
In Texas, injured victims can pursue those who caused their injuries for noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, we may pursue these damages and help you recover compensation.

Dog Bite Laws in Fort Worth
Under the Texas Health and Safety Code, dog owners may bear liability for injuries caused by their animals. In some cases, in addition to facing civil liability for bites or attacks, they may be charged with a crime. For example, if a dog owner knows their pet has vicious tendencies, but still lets them roam free without supervision or restraint, they may be charged with a crime if their animal attacks someone. Similarly, a pet owner can be guilty of a crime if they encourage an animal to attack an innocent person who is not threatening them.
When we evaluate your Fort Worth dog bite injury, we will look into whether the owner may be criminally liable for the bite incident. If they face criminal charges, it does not result in money in your pocket, but it can help strengthen the civil claim we may file against the dog owner. Even if the owner is not criminally liable, we may still win compensation from them, either through an out-of-court settlement or a jury verdict.
Our dog bite attorneys in Fort Worth have helped many clients recover settlements for their injuries and we want to help you too.
Our Fort Worth dog bite lawyers can pursue a settlement or award on your behalf. We will take on the dog owner, as well as their insurance company, seeing to it that they do not get away with paying you less than you deserve. To learn more, and to receive a free consultation, call us today.
