Invited Guest Suffers Dog Bite Injury in McKinney

Evidence in the Dog Bite Case

The client reported the incident to the police, saying she had been badly hurt. There was little evidence to go on in the case other than the client’s side of the story and unverified evidence. Therefore, the firm had to investigate the situation to see if it was a viable case. In Texas, one must show that the animal has a propensity for violence. That can be shown by the dog’s breed or by the dog’s history, which this case provided both. The dog was a pit-bull mix with another violent breed. That demonstrated a propensity for violence, and the client showed evidence of scarring, so there was a viable case that she had complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS), which used to be known as reflex system dystrophy (RSD). With RSD, because of trauma, the nerves continue to fire a pain signal even if there is no direct damage to the nerve sending the pain signal. The syndrome is often accompanied by temperature differential in the affected limb of the body, changes in skin texture and hair loss in the affected limb. It is a very painful condition and can be lifelong.
