Sinton, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

A dog owner is strictly liable for injuries that his pet dog inflicts upon you. The procedure is to identify the owner of the dog and then make demand on him to produce his homeowners insurance policy to see if he is covered for this incident, or if he does not own property, then demand to see his renters insurance policy if he rents.    

The best thing you can do in this situation is to hire a qualified attorney. Your limited factual presentation makes it clear that you have a tort claim and perhaps a workers compensation claim.

You would have to prove that the virus was caused by some neglect of the apartment complex and that the virus was directly contracted because of that neglect. It would take some powerful doctor testimony and maybe some fancy lab work. I don't think a claim would fly unless you have the above. You would also have to prove the complex knew of the problem (or should have known) and failed to do anything to correct it. It is all uphill and expensive. I doubt if you can make such a claim successfully.
