Since 1990, the attorneys of D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC have recovered financial compensation for many dog bite injury victims. Dog bites can cause severe injuries as well as physical and emotional scars that last a life time. We believe pet owners should be held responsible for the damages their animals cause. The state of Connecticut agrees.

Connecticut is a "strict liability" state where dog bites are concerned. That means unless you were tormenting the dog or were trespassing when the dog bit you, the pet owner is liable for the injury and property damage the dog caused.

If a dog bit and seriously injured you or a member of your family, please contact a personal injury attorney at D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. We aggressively pursue financial compensation for your injury, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and property damage.

From our offices in Watertown, Connecticut, we represent clients in various locales within the State of Connecticut.
