Helping Stamford Dog Bite Victims Recover

A dog bite can result in severe physical harm, such as deep lacerations, infections, nerve damage, and permanent scarring. Emotional and psychological trauma, including fear, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, can also affect victims long after the injury. At Goff Law Group, we fight for dog bite victims in Stamford to ensure they receive full compensation for both the physical and emotional toll of their injuries.

Whether the dog had a violent history or was an otherwise well-behaved pet, we investigate every case thoroughly to help you understand your legal rights. If you or a loved one has been attacked, don’t wait—contact us at 203-399-0000 or online for a free consultation.

The Impact of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bite injuries can be severe and have lasting consequences. Some of the potential aftermath includes:

  • Surgery
    Some bites may require surgery to treat deep tissue damage.
  • Amputation
    In rare cases, if the damage is extensive, an amputation may be necessary to prevent further complications.
  • Psychiatric Care
    The emotional trauma from a dog attack can lead to anxiety, fear, and PTSD, often requiring therapy or counseling.
  • Cosmetic Reconstruction
    Injuries to the face or visible body parts may require cosmetic surgery to minimize scarring.
  • Rehabilitation
    If the bite results in a loss of function, physical therapy and rehabilitation may be required for a full recovery.

  • Pain and suffering

  • Rehabilitation or therapy

At Goff Law Group, our dog bite lawyers in Stamford have the experience and dedication to take on the responsible party’s insurance company and fight for the compensation you deserve. Whether through settlement or litigation, we won’t settle for less than you are entitled to.
