The figures for individuals who have been attacked and bitten by dogs are staggering. One report in 2007 indicated that more than 4 1/2 million people were bitten by dogs in one particular year. More than three quarters of 1 million of those injured would go on to seek medical attention and more than one third of 1 million victims will require medical treatment at a hospital emergency room. You should know that Connecticut has a dog bite statute that imposes strict liability on the owner or keeper of a dog with very limited exceptions. The Connecticut dog bite statute can be found at Connecticut General Statutes section 22 - 357. That statute provides for strict liability on the part of the owner or keeper of the dog unless the injured party was committing a trespass or other tort, or was teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog.

Therefore, it is not necessary to prove that the owner or keeper of the dog was negligent in any way or that the dog had previously bitten someone before, in order to hold the owner or keeper of the dog liable for your injuries and damages resulting from their biting dog so long as one of the exceptions to the statute is not present. Despite the fact that there is a strict liability statute in Connecticut, there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed in a serious CT animal attack injury case.
