Understanding Connecticut Dog Bite Laws

In Connecticut, dog owners are typically held liable for any injuries their pets cause, even if the dog has no previous history of aggression. This is known as strict liability, meaning that if you’ve been bitten, you may be entitled to compensation.

However, the legal process can be complex, with many dog owners and their insurance companies trying to deny or minimize their liability. That’s why it’s essential to have a dedicated, experienced attorney by your side.

At Goff Law Group, our team is well-versed in Connecticut’s dog bite laws. We’ll guide you through the entire legal process, making sure you understand your rights and helping you secure the compensation you need to recover.

Common Injuries from Dog Bites

Dog bites can cause a range of injuries, some of which may have long-term effects. Common injuries we’ve encountered in Bridgeport dog bite cases include:

  • Puncture wounds: Deep bites can cause serious infections, including rabies, tetanus, and cellulitis.
  • Lacerations and tears: Severe bites may require stitches or even reconstructive surgery, particularly in cases where the face, hands, or limbs are involved.
  • Scarring and disfigurement: Scarring from dog bites can affect your appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life, particularly when visible areas like the face are impacted.
  • Broken bones: In some cases, dog bites can fracture bones or cause crush injuries, especially in smaller children.
  • Emotional trauma: Beyond physical injuries, many victims—especially children—experience lasting emotional effects, such as anxiety, PTSD, or a lifelong fear of dogs.

At Goff Law Group, we understand the profound impact these injuries can have on your life, and we fight to secure compensation that reflects both the physical and emotional toll of the attack.

What to Do After a Dog Bite in Bridgeport

If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, it’s important to take the following steps to protect your health and legal rights:

  1. Seek immediate medical attention: Even minor bites can lead to serious infections if left untreated, including rabies and tetanus.
  2. Identify the dog and its owner: If possible, gather the contact information of the dog owner and details about the dog’s vaccination history.
  3. Document the incident: Take photos of your injuries, the location of the attack, and the dog itself. This documentation can be critical to your case.
  4. Report the bite: Notify local animal control or the police to create an official record of the attack. This is especially important if the dog has a history of aggression.
  5. Contact a Bridgeport dog bite attorney: Goff Law Group is here to help. We will handle the legal process while you focus on your recovery.

These steps are vital in ensuring that your health is protected and your case is documented properly.

Why You Need Our Bridgeport Dog Bite Attorneys

Dog bite cases aren’t always straightforward. Dog owners and their insurance companies often try to downplay the seriousness of the attack or claim that the victim was somehow at fault. At Goff Law Group, we make sure that doesn’t happen. We take the time to understand your case, ensuring that every detail is accounted for so you get the compensation you deserve. We fight to recover damages for:

  • Medical bills: Including emergency treatment, surgery, and long-term care for infections or scarring.
  • Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, we seek compensation for your lost income.
  • Pain and suffering: Both physical pain and the emotional toll of the attack are taken into account in your claim.

Insurance companies often pressure victims to accept low settlements quickly. We won’t let that happen. Your dog bite lawyer in Bridgeport at Goff Law Group will fight tirelessly to ensure that you’re treated fairly and never taken advantage of by powerful insurance companies. From the moment you reach out, we take control of your case. Our team investigates the dog bite incident, gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and reviews medical records to build a compelling claim. And if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re prepared to take your case to court and fight for you in front of a judge and jury.
