Who Is Responsible For A Dog Bite Injury?

Under Connecticut statute, dog owners are strictly liable for their pet’s conduct. This means that it is not necessary to demonstrate that the owner knew their dog was aggressive, or that the owner was being negligent when the bite occurred, in order to hold the owner responsible.

Simply put, even if a dog has no history of biting, and is on a leash or being carefully monitored by its owner, the owner can still be sued for injuries the dog causes so long as the victim is not:

  • Criminally trespassing or behaving unlawfully when the dog attacks
  • Teasing or abusing the dog, provoking it to attack

In some cases, it is also possible to hold someone other than a dog’s owner accountable for dog bite injuries. For example, if an apartment complex’s landlord knows that a dog is prone to biting and yet does nothing to restrict it from being in common spaces controlled by the landlord, the landlord could be found negligent and liable for the harm caused.

If you or your child has been injured by a dog bite, you must immediately contact your local Animal Control Office. Even if your wound is relatively minor, you should also seek medical attention to prevent serious infection and rule out the transmission of any diseases.
