A Connecticut dog bite attorney plays a crucial role in advocating for victims of animal attacks. We begin by conducting a thorough investigation into the incident, gathering evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and animal ownership information. Attorney Ubaldi will then assess liability, determining if the animal owner or another party is responsible for your injuries.

In Connecticut, dog owners are typically liable for injuries caused by their dogs, regardless of whether the dog has a history of aggression. There are exceptions, such as if the victim was trespassing or provoking the dog.
Connecticut follows a strict liability standard for dog bites, meaning the owner is usually responsible regardless of the victim's actions. However, your attorney can help gather evidence to refute any claims of provocation or trespassing.
In Connecticut, the statute of limitations for filing a dog bite lawsuit is two years from the date of the incident or three years from the date of the incident, depending on the nature of the defendant. It's important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your rights are protected.
Your attorney can explore other avenues of compensation, such as the dog owner's personal assets or homeowner's insurance policies that may cover dog bite liability.
