Dog Bites
When you've been attacked by a dog, it's important to immediately hire an experienced attorney who knows the legal ramifications. Nick will fight for you. In Connecticut, there are many laws that protect victims of dog attacks, and Nick Nesi keeps abreast of the law and all changes to the law each year. He knows how to navigate inside the court system to get you the full compensation you deserve.
Dog attacks can be traumatizing experiences, both physically and emotionally. In addition to the physical injuries that you may have sustained, you may also be dealing with emotional trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). An experienced dog attack attorney understands the psychological impact a dog attack can have on a victim and will fight to get you the compensation you need to cover all of your medical expenses to help you move on with your life.
According to Connecticut's Dog Bite Statute, a dog's owner, or keeper at the time of the harm is accountable for damages if the harmed party can demonstrate that the victim did not trespass, tease, harass, or otherwise abuse the dog, and the dog was the one who inflicted the damage. In addition, the law immediately assumes that a child victim was not torturing or abusing the dog at the time of the injury if the abused was under the age of seven at the time of the attack.
Such injuries are taken seriously by the Connecticut Dog Bite Statute and our dog bite attorneys. If dogs or other animals hurt you, you may be entitled to financial compensation as well as damages for your pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
