In the state of Connecticut, there is a dog bite law based on strict liability. What this means is that the dog’s owner or keeper is responsible for injuries that their animal causes, regardless of whether they were being negligent or were aware that the dog was aggressive. There are exceptions to this rule, such as when the victim was provoking the animal, trespassing on private property, or was under the age of seven years old. It is essential that after a dog attack you receive medical attention so your injuries can get the care that they need. Then reach out to our dog bite attorney so we can pursue the compensation you deserve.
