The person receiving your dog bite injury claim depends on the law in your state. Connecticut’s dog bite law is more friendly toward victims than pet owners. It is a strict liability law, which means that the owner of a dog that attacked someone will be liable for damages even without being negligent. You will file your injury claim with the homeowners’ insurance company of the pet owner, if possible. If the owner doesn’t have insurance or is denying liability, work with a lawyer for assistance recovering compensation. Other options could be available to you.
