Dog Bite Injuries
Legal help for victims of dog bites and animal attacks
Advocating for Dog Bite Victims in Connecticut
Connecticut enforces a strict liability law that holds dog owners fully accountable for any harm caused by their pets. Under this statute, dog owners can be held liable even if their dogs have never bitten anyone or exhibited any vicious behavior. Victims of dog bites have the right to seek full and fair compensation for their medical expenses and any other losses resulting from the attack.
Navigating Challenges in Dog Bite Cases
Dog owners may attempt to claim that their pet was provoked or that the victim was warned about the dog's temperament. Insurance companies often use these assertions to deny claims for damages. Given the complexities involved in these cases, let Lettick & Lettick P.C. help representing you from the beginning.
The Importance of Immediate Medical Attention
Dog bites can lead to serious infections, as dogs' mouths harbor various germs beyond just rabies. Signs of infection, such as swelling, redness, oozing, or fever, may develop in the wound. It is essential to seek medical attention immediately after a dog bite injury, as puncture wounds can be particularly dangerous.
