Dangerous Dog Attacks
Certain dog breeds have a reputation for being more aggressive than other dog breeds, including:
- Rottweilers
- Pit-bulls
- Cocker spaniels
- Miniature pinschers
- Lhasa apsos
Although many attacks occur because the dog is trying to protect its owner, other dogs may attack completely unprovoked. Dogs can even turn on their owner after years of devoted and gentle companionship. All dog owners, regardless of whether they own a dangerous breed of dog, are responsible for injuries caused by a dog attack.
Dog Attacks on Children
Sadly, many dogs attack children, causing serious harm to young children, including permanent scarring, tissue loss and nerve damage. When a dog has attacked your child, it is important to get the name and phone number of the owner. From there, we can step in on your behalf to seek compensation for your child's injuries against the dog owner who is strictly liable for dog bite injuries.
Like most states, though, Connecticut requires that you act quickly after a dog bite attack. The statute of limitations period to bring a claim against the dog owner is two years after the incident. We urge you to contact us as soon as possible after a serious dog attack so we can begin working for you.
Have you or someone you know been injured due to a dog bite attack? If so, you may be able to sue the dog's owner and receive compensation for your injuries. Contact our experienced Hartford dog bite attorneys today.
