Dog Bites 

Connecticut Dog Bite Liability Attorneys

While a dog bite is often considered preventable, the reality is that thousands of people are bitten by dogs each year. Unless someone provokes a dog, Connecticut has a strict liability statute that will hold a dog owner or keeper liable when his or her dog bites someone. Furthermore, the dog does not need a history of attacks before the law applies. Even a dog's first incident is subject to full liability.

Since 1972, The Law Offices of Piazza & Simmons in Stamford has been helping clients pursue fair compensation for negligence in personal injury or wrongful death cases. If you are bit by someone's dog, contact our firm today for a free initial consultation with a skilled dog bite attorney.

Comprehensive Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can range in severity. While bites by pit bulls can result in broken bones, lacerations, head trauma, and other serious injuries, even small bites have serious consequences such as rabies. Like many premises liability cases, those involving dog bites are fact-driven matters. We help clients determine who is at fault and help them recover all necessary compensation for expenses, including:

• Medical treatment
• Prescription drugs
• Plastic surgery
• Physical therapy
• Lost income
• Insurance reimbursement

Our experienced attorneys understand that while the physical damage will be addressed, the emotional trauma must also be considered, especially when children are the victims of a dog bite. Dog bite victims can experience post-traumatic stress disorder, and we will help ensure compensation also covers psychiatric therapy clients may need in order to heal the emotional scars of an animal attack.
