Helping Dog Bite Victims Seek Justice

Dog bites subject victims to extreme trauma and can result in serious injuries, particularly for young children. The injuries from such attacks can cause nerve damage and leave victims scarred for life. Additionally, the victim may experience fear, anxiety, and other extensive physical or emotional damages.

Our firm handles a wide variety of personal injury claims, including dog bite attacks. Many dogs, in these cases, have a history of biting. But even if the dog has no violent history, we can assess your legal options for potential compensation. If a dog bit you or a loved one, contact Goff Law Group at 203-399-0000 or contact us online to request a free consultation.

What You Should Do After a Dog Bites You

We Advocate for the Compensation You Need to Recover

If you or your child has been attacked by a dog, don’t wait to take action. Connecticut’s strict liability laws hold dog owners accountable, ensuring that victims can seek full compensation for their injuries. Filing a claim not only helps cover medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma but also prevents future attacks by holding negligent owners responsible.

At Goff Law Group, we have the experience and legal strength to take on insurance companies and negligent parties. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we are prepared to fight for the maximum compensation possible—and we won’t settle for less than you deserve.
