The Dog Bite Statute

In Connecticut, a dog's owner or handler is liable for any harm or damages caused by a dog to another person's body or property unless the damage was sustained by an individual who was trespassing or abusing, teasing, or tormenting the dog. Additionally, the law assumes that anyone under the age of seven was not committing any of the referenced actions, such as teasing the dog or trespassing, unless the defendant can show otherwise. 

Dog Attack Repercussions

Following a dog attack, the dog's owner may be liable for any damages an individual suffered, including medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, replacement services, and personal property damages. Additionally, the Commissioner or the animal control officer will determine what will happen to the dog after the attack.
