Dog Bite Lawyer in Hartford, CT
Understanding Liability in Dog Bite Incidents
One of the most frightening injuries a person can experience is a dog bite. When a person is attacked by a dog, they can sustain emotional injuries as well as physical ones and have every right to seek compensation for their suffering.
A dog's owner is responsible for the pet's containment, restraint, and behavior. So, if your injury is a result of a pet owner's negligence in any of these areas, you may be able to hold them responsible and have their insurance cover your medical treatment. To learn if your case qualifies for you for compensation, speak with a Hartford injury lawyer from David A. Zipfel & Associates, LLC.
