The injuries you suffer from a dog attack can be life-altering, and the medical expenses incurred as a result can haunt you for years after. At SJ Injury Attorneys, our Pasadena dog bite lawyers are dedicated to helping injury victims. Prior to practicing law, Attorney Christopher Soileau spent over a decade as a medical professional, giving him a unique understanding of what you’re going through.

What Are the Most Dangerous Breeds?
Certain dog breeds have a bad reputation for being particularly aggressive. In reality, any dog can be aggressive and territorial, but not every dog causes serious injury.
Based on both accident statistics, and on their potential to cause life-threatening injuries, the most dangerous breeds include:
- Pit bulls
- Rottweilers
- German Shepherds
Texas does not have any statewide breed-specific laws, but some jurisdictions do restrict the ownership of certain breeds, like pit bulls. While these dogs can be particularly dangerous, even smaller dogs can cause serious injuries.
