Texas is limited to what you can recover should a dog attack your dog. This is due to the Texas Supreme Court ruling that household pets are merely “property.” Thus the damages you can recover are limited to the fair market value of your pet. However, if YOU were injured by a dog that was attacking you or your dog, you may have a personal injury claim. If you were bitten or injured by any animal, contact your local personal injury attorney in Austin, TX at Funk and Associates.
