New Haven County Animal Attack Lawsuit Lawyers
Attorneys Handling Dog Bite Cases Since 1978
Lawmakers in Connecticut feel so strongly that dog owners have a responsibility to ensure others' safety around their dogs that our state enjoys "strict liability" regarding dog bites and attacks.
Strict liability means that, following a dog attack, victims do not have to prove that the attack was unprovoked or that the dog and dog owner were 100 percent responsible for causing the attack. Instead, the law assumes that the dog owner is responsible for injuries and damages. A whole part of the legal process is therefore skipped, and victims can move onto the questions of, "how serious are the injuries?" and "how much compensation should be paid?"
The Connecticut dog bite attorneys of the New Haven law firm of Gillis Law Firm are experienced at answering these questions and providing diligent and results-oriented legal help following dog and animal attacks. Have you or a loved one been attacked by a dog or other domesticated animal and face:
- Scarring, including facial scarring?
- Injuries to an appendage?
- Injuries sustained while fleeing from an attacking dog?
You are likely owed compensation even if the dog did not succeed in biting you.

We can aggressively and knowledgeably pursue the compensation you are owed from dog owners through their home owner's insurance and other sources.
