Under Connecticut law, dog owners are strictly liable for bites and attacks. If you've been injured by a dog in Hartford:

  • You may be eligible for compensation for scarring, nerve damage, or emotional trauma

Let our team help you file a claim under the dog owner's homeowner's insurance policy. More on Connecticut dog bite law.

If your injury was caused by a third party (not your employer), you may be entitled to a personal injury claim in addition to workers' compensation. Understand construction site injury law.
