Animal Attacks

Being attacked by someone’s pet can be an extremely frightening experience. Not only are victims in severe pain, physical scars, but they can also feel defenseless and a heightened sense of panic. After an animal attack or dog bite, you may face expensive medical treatment, permanent scarring, lasting trauma and animal phobias. While nothing can undo what you have gone through, it is important to understand that you may have a legal right to compensation for your injuries.

In Connecticut, an individual can be held legally responsible if his/her pet attacks and injures another person. There are a few exceptions to this law. If you were trespassing on private property or if you tormented or abused the animal, you may not be able to sue for compensation after an animal attack. We at Ganim Legal can help you understand these nuanced laws as they relate to your specific circumstances.
