When New Haven Dogs Bite

An aggressive dog biting at you can be a very scary thing. Sometimes dogs become very unpredictable and can get aggressive towards people that can sometimes cause significant and serious injuries. Nationwide, we are seeing dog bites on the rise and even locally as well. Just last week a New Haven Alder was bitten by a dog in her own neighborhood. Last year, a New Haven woman was mauled, and ultimately succumbed to her injuries, by a dog.

Being bitten by a dog can be very scary. A New Haven dog bite lawyer can help you protect your rights.  After being bitten you should:

• Get the dog owner’s contact information and request papers on the dog’s rabies vaccinations.
• Immediately clean the wound with soap and water.
• Seek medical attention.
• Contact local animal control.
• Contact an experienced and knowledgeable New Haven dog bite lawyer to learn your rights.

After you have been bitten by a dog it is important to know your rights. Contact our office immediately to schedule a free consultation.
