Dog Bites and Injuries Resulting from Attack

Dogs make a wonderful pet and companion, however, they can also cause a great deal of harm to an individual. Dog bite attacks cause terrible injuries including deep tissue wounds, scars, scrapes, nerve damage, bruises, dangerous infections, and severe psychological trauma.

Connecticut law dictates that dog owners are responsible for their own dog's actions. If a dog bites and injures someone, the owner of that dog is held responsible for the resulting injuries.

Dog attacks represent some of the most gruesome personal injuries that are suffered, particularly where a child is involved (as is often the case). Dog attack statistics report that most attacks are caused by dogs that the victim is familiar with. Most biting dogs belong to a family member or friend and the majority of incidents happen at home or in familiar place. Sadly, about half the victims are children, with the most likely target being between the ages of 5 and 9. Dog bites are the second most common cause of childhood injury, surpassing playground accidents. The majority of dog bite injuries towards children involve the face and can result in disfigurement and scarring. In all animal attack cases it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries.
