Houston has more dog attacks on postal workers than any other city in the nation. In fact, according to a recent KHOU news report, Houston has lead the nation in postal worker dog attacks for 8 of the previous 12 years. There were 106 dog bites in 2008 alone. When postal workers are bitten while delivering mail, they are considered “invitees.” An invitee is someone who is allowed onto another’s property for business purposes. Dog owners owe invitees the highest duty of care to prevent a dog attack from occurring.
According to recent statistics, one out of every six dog bite injuries requires medical care and one out of every fourteen requires emergency care. Unfortunately, dog bite injury victims often have to bear the cost of their own medical treatment. If you have been injured in a Houston dog attack, the dog’s owner should be held responsible for the injuries inflicted by his or her pet.
