Frequently Asked Questions
Is the dog owner always responsible for a bite in San Antonio?
Not automatically; liability often depends on the owner's knowledge of the dog's temperament and the specific circumstances of the incident.
What if the bite happened on the owner's property?
You may still have a claim depending on why you were on the property and whether the owner took reasonable precautions.
