Dog bites can lead to serious injuries, emotional trauma, and significant medical expenses. If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, it’s essential to understand your rights and the legal options available to you.

 

Dog bites can result in various injuries, such as:

 

- Lacerations and Puncture Wounds: These can lead to significant bleeding and may require stitches or surgical intervention.

​

- Infections: Bacteria from a dog’s mouth can cause infections, which may require antibiotics and further medical treatment. 

​

- Nerve Damage: Bites can cause nerve damage, resulting in loss of sensation or movement in the affected area.

​

- Emotional Trauma: Victims, especially children, may experience fear or anxiety around dogs after an attack, leading to long-term psychological effects.

​

Connecticut is a strict liability state, meaning: If a dog does any damage, the owner or keeper are liable for the amount of such damage, unless the injured party was committing a trespass or was teasing, tormenting or abusing such dog at the time of the attack.
