Note sull'episodio
From DeFronzo & Petroskey, P.C. - Waterbury Dog Bite Lawyer explores how Connecticut's strict liability dog bite law protects victims bitten in Waterbury and throughout New Haven County. The discussion covers what steps to take after a dog bite, including seeking medical treatment immediately at facilities like Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital, documenting the incident, and filing a report with Waterbury Animal Control. Listeners will hear how Connecticut General Statutes Section 22-357 places responsibility on dog owners and keepers without requiring proof of negligence, and how cases like Giacalone v. Housing Authority of the Town of Wallingford shape claims against landlords and property owners.

It also touches on how Connecticut's dog bite law applies uniformly across counties including Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, Tolland, and Windham County, even as local animal control enforcement and court procedures vary.
