What to Do After a Dog Bite

If you’ve been bitten by a dog in New Haven, taking immediate action is essential for both your health and your legal rights:

Identify the Dog’s Owner

Gather the dog owner’s contact details and ask for vaccination records to verify the animal’s health status.

Report the Bite to Animal Control

It’s important to report any dog bite that breaks the skin to local animal control for documentation and public safety purposes.

Seek Medical Treatment Right Away

Even seemingly minor dog bites can lead to infections. It’s crucial to get medical attention as soon as possible to prevent complications.

Preserve Evidence

Take photographs of your injury, keep all medical records, and gather witness statements to strengthen your case.

The Impact of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can leave victims with both immediate and long-term consequences. Some of the common aftermath of dog bites includes:

  • Surgery
    In cases of deep or severe bites, surgery may be required to repair the damage.
  • Amputation
    If a bite causes extensive tissue damage, amputation may be necessary.
  • Psychiatric Treatment
    The trauma caused by a dog attack can lead to anxiety, depression, and PTSD, which may require psychiatric care.
  • Cosmetic Reconstruction
    Bites to the face or visible areas may leave permanent scars, requiring cosmetic surgery for reconstruction.
  • Rehabilitation
    Physical therapy may be needed to help victims recover mobility and functionality after the injury.

Pursuing the Compensation You Deserve

Connecticut law holds dog owners strictly liable for attacks that result in injury, regardless of whether the dog had a history of aggression. This means that victims are entitled to compensation for their injuries, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Emotional trauma
  • Pain and suffering
  • Therapy or rehabilitation costs

At Goff Law Group, our dog bite lawyers in New Haven are ready to take on the insurance companies and negligent pet owners to make sure you get the maximum compensation possible. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we will fight to ensure that you are fully compensated for all aspects of your injury.
