Connecticut has passed a dog bite statute, located in Section 22-357. It states that a dog’s owner or keeper is liable for damage to any person or property, unless the person injured was trespassing, committing a tort (like assault), or abusing/teasing the dog.
This is a strict liability statute. In some states, an owner can’t be responsible unless the dog has bitten a person before. But that’s not the law in Connecticut. If you are legally on the property and not provoking the dog, you can sue for compensation to cover your injuries.
Unsurprisingly, many owners will allege you were teasing or tormenting the animal. This might include hitting him, pulling his tail, or trying to alarm the dog. Remember that provocation might be accidental. For example, you could have stepped through the door and accidentally onto the animal’s tail.

"This was my first time in the court system needless to say I was nervous . Tehrani was very good to me I have severe anxiety and get tripped up very easily . My charge was pretty severe and had to do some outbound treatment . Tehrani actually checked up on me and it wasn’t to make sure I was doing the program but actually just so see how I was doing that ment a lot to me . Hopefully I never have to go to court again but if I do he’s the only person I’ll use ."
