Dog Attack Attorney in Stamford

Complications Resulting from Dog Bite Injuries

Initially, dog bites can cause painful puncture and tear wounds, but the damage does not stop there. In addition to puncture wounds and permanent scarring, many of our clients have also suffered:

• Orthopedic injuries to their lower backs, knees, and shoulders
• Surgeries, such as meniscus repairs to their knees
• Rotator cuff repairs to their shoulders
• Serious infections

Dog bites are difficult to clean, which means they carry a high risk of infection. If you've been attacked by a dog, seek immediate medical attention to ensure the wound is cleaned. Otherwise, you could suffer a serious infection such as tetanus, staph, or sepsis (blood poisoning). Such infections can even occur after you've received medical attention because of how difficult it is to keep the wound clean. Dog bites can also cause long-term or permanent scars that affect the victim's self-esteem.

Homeowner Liability Policies & Dog Attacks

Homeowner liability policies often exclude insurance coverage for various types of dogs if there is not a special insurance rider. This can result in no liability insurance coverage under the owner's premises liability insurance policy. Our Stamford dog bite attorneys can determine if the defendant has a valid liability policy that will indemnify them for damages caused by the dog.

Dogs such as Pit Bulls are often excluded under homeowner liability insurance policies. This means that any homeowner who makes a material misrepresentation of facts on an application for homeowner insurance or fails to disclose certain dog breeds may have his or her insurance coverage voided after your claim is made for the dog attack.
