Dog Attacks and Bites

Get Compensated for Your Physical and Emotional Pain

Being bitten or attacked by a dog is traumatic and frightening and can result in serious injury and scarring. Most dog bite victims are children under the age of 12 and typically suffer bites on the face.

If you or a loved one are injured by a dog, it is crucial that you obtain proper identification of the owner or dog's keeper. Immediately call the police or animal control department for a report that will presumably identify the party responsible for the injuries caused by the dog.

You may also obtain recovery in cases where a dog's actions caused a fall, or if injuries were sustained while running away from or protecting yourself from a dog attack. In Connecticut, a dog owner is strictly held liable for damages or injuries caused by the dog. Most likely, the dog owner's homeowner's insurance policy will pay for injuries or damage caused by the dog.

At MPF Attorneys at Law, we pursue compensation through insurance company settlement and court trial. We know that victims of dog bites suffer more than just physical harm, so we believe compensation should reflect emotional damage as well.
