Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

dog bites child

First, get the dog checked for rabies. Rabies is fatal, but there may be treatment if caught in time. The animal is checked by observation and if necessary, destruction and examination of the brain.

Second, if you didn't know it before, you do now. Your dog is dangerous. Personally, I would destroy the animal immediately. I have done this when an animal I had threatened a child, and it was the right thing to do. Do not keep a dangerous animal. Should you choose not to destroy the animal, expect to be sued and lose if the animal ever hurts anyone.

Third, destroy the animal.

Fourth, you might be sued. You should report the incident to your home owner's insurance or consult an attorney if you have no insurance.
