Thompson V. Curtis

A dog owned by Daniel Curtis and Dawn Curtis bit Elizabeth Thompson. She sued the Curtises, alleging strict liability and negligence. The Curtises moved for summary judgment on Thompson's claims, specifically attacking the cause in fact element of proximate and producing causation. The trial court granted summary judgment in the Curtises' favor. In four issues, Thompson contends the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in the Curtises' favor. Because there is evidence in the record raising a genuine issue of material fact on cause in fact, we reverse the trial court's order granting summary judgment and remand this case for further proceedings.
