Connecticut Dog Bite Attorney
In most cases, however, a dog owner must take legal and financial responsibility for injuries caused when the dog bites, knocks down or otherwise injures another person.
Dog bites or attacks from other animals can cause extremely serious injuries, including permanent scarring, disfigurement, broken bones and severed nerves. If you have suffered injury due to a dog bite or attack, it is important to seek independent legal advice before accepting any settlement from the dog owner or the dog owner’s insurance company.
Without an independent assessment of the full extent of your financial losses — including current and future medical bills, lost wages and compensation for permanent scarring — you run the risk of accepting a settlement that does not properly compensate you for your injuries.
