Attorneys Representing Clients Suffering From Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can result in serious, life-changing injuries, including puncture wounds, nerve damage, scarring, disfigurement and life-threatening infections. If you or someone close to you has been injured by the negligence of a dog owner in Connecticut, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses.

At Suisman Shapiro, our personal injury lawyers provide strong advocacy to people injured in dog bite attacks throughout eastern Connecticut. We have the experience and resources to pursue maximum compensation for dog bite injuries, while holding dog owners accountable for their negligence.

Connecticut Dog Bite Laws

Connecticut dog bite laws impose strict liability on dog owners. In other words, dog owners are responsible for injuries their dogs cause to others, whether those injuries were caused by dog bites or other harmful behavior by the dog.

Strict liability does not apply if the victim was trespassing on the dog owner’s property or provoking the dog at the time of the attack. However, a child under the age of seven is not presumed to have trespassed or provoked a dog.

Our personal injury lawyers will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your case to determine how this dog bite injury took place and who is to blame.
