Stamford Dog Attack Lawyer
Connecticut's strict liability laws regarding dog bites and animal attacks mean that you do not have to prove that a pet owner was negligent or that their "pet" had a history of attacking people. However, there are exceptions to this rule and other potential obstacles that could stand between you and the compensation you deserve.
Located in the City of Stamford, The Pickle Law Firm, LLC fights to protect the rights of animal attack victims across the state. But the real difference between our firm and many of the others who will make that same claim is our ability to back the statement up with years of six- and seven-figure personal injury results achieved for Connecticut clients.
Today, as attorneys, we help dog bite and animal attack victims in several important ways, including:
- Proving that the dog or animal in question was owned by the defendant
- Proving that the defendant's animal was the animal that actually bit you or your child
- Being ready to counter defense allegations that you were trespassing, committing a tort, or abusing or teasing the dog in some way
- Assessing your total economic and non-economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement, permanent injuries, psychological damage and other losses as well)
If you are willing to give a law firm the opportunity to represent your interests in a personal injury lawsuit, shouldn't that law firm also give you the opportunity to actually meet with and discuss your case with an attorney at the initial consultation? At many law firms, this doesn't happen. At The Pickel Law Firm — you, your time and your interest in working with us will be respected and appreciated.
Helping Your Own Cause
While there are several things you may be able to do to help your own cause after a dog has attacked you — two are especially important. Everything else, including getting the names and contact information of owners or witnesses, taking photographs and making certain the police are notified may be helpful, but can be dealt with later.
First, seek appropriate medical care for your injuries as soon as possible. Second, don't agree to settle your case with the dog's owner or their homeowners insurance company until you have taken the time to speak with a lawyer.
