Dog bites can cause more than just physical harm—they can lead to infections, permanent scarring, and emotional trauma, especially for children. If you or a loved one was attacked by a dog in Warner Robins, Centerville, Perry, or anywhere in Houston County, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we help victims of dog bites hold negligent pet owners accountable. We deal with insurance companies, document your injuries, and fight to recover the full value of your claim.
Georgia Dog Bite Law: Understanding Liability
Georgia law allows victims to recover compensation if the dog owner:
- Knew the dog had aggressive tendencies or a history of biting
- Violated a local leash law or ordinance
- Failed to restrain the dog in public or on private property
- Failed to warn others about the dog’s behavior
We work to prove liability and recover damages, even in cases where the dog had never bitten before.
Common Injuries in Dog Attacks
Dog bites can range from minor punctures to life-threatening wounds and long-term disabilities.
We represent clients with:
- Deep lacerations and puncture wounds
- Nerve and muscle damage
- Infections (including MRSA, tetanus, or rabies)
- Facial injuries and permanent disfigurement
- Broken bones or torn ligaments
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
- Wrongful death (in fatal dog attacks)

Who Can Be Held Liable?
In most cases, the dog owner is liable. However, others may also share responsibility:
- Landlords who knew of a dangerous dog
- Caretakers, sitters, or walkers who failed to control the animal
- Property owners who allowed a dangerous dog on their premises
- Homeowners’ insurance companies that provide dog bite liability coverage
We pursue every available avenue to recover maximum compensation.
