Oak Cliff, TX resident Charmion Bell attacked by dogs (Pit Bulls) while riding bike
Oak Cliff, Texas resident Charmion Bell was mauled by 2 pit bulls as she rode her bike through her Dallas neighborhood in May of 2010. The dogs pushed Charmion off of her bike and into a ditch. Bell says her attempts at resisting the dog bites were futile. Fortunately, neighbors intervened and rescued her, but not before she received more than 60 bites to her body. She is now covered in bandages and relies on a crutch to get around. Neighbors say that the dogs have been terrorizing the neighborhood for weeks. Police could not immediately locate the pit bulls.
In Texas when a dog attacks, the dog's owners are responsible for the injuries caused. Even if the dog has never attacked anyone before, it should be kept where it cannot do harm to others. These attacks often lead to expensive, long-term medical treatment, time away from work, and a myriad of other costs.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
