What You Need to Know About Dog Attacks
- If the dog bit you, your child or any family member, the dog owner or keeper is liable for damages under Connecticut's dog bite statute. Compensation for a dog bite or attack may include payment for medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and mental anxiety and fear.
- The owner or keeper is responsible even if the dog was on a leash.
- There is no "one free bite." It does not matter if the dog has bitten anyone before, or shown vicious behavior. Any breed of dog can cause serious bites.
- The dog does not have to actually bite. A person who is knocked down and suffers injury while being chased by an aggressive dog can collect damages.
Dog Bite Accidents and Injuries
Injuries from animal bites often result in serious injury requiring medical treatment, including permanent scarring, infection, rabies shots, nerve and tissue damage, and reconstructive surgery.
Damages may include medical costs (including reconstructive surgery), lost wages, pain and suffering, and compensation for any permanent scarring or disfigurement.
