Legal Assistance for Victims of Dog Bites and Animal Attacks at Sousa Law, LLC

While you can’t sue a dog or pet for an attack, you certainly can hold the owner accountable. Animal owners are responsible for preventing harm, particularly if the animal has a history of aggression. In the Valley and the greater Bridgeport area, incidents of seemingly friendly dogs causing severe harm are not uncommon. Such attacks, especially on young children, can result in the need for extensive surgeries and leave lasting scars.

Achieving Settlements in Animal Attack Cases

Our firm, Sousa Law, LLC has successfully negotiated substantial settlements in animal attack cases, including a $130,000 settlement for a dog bite incident in Seymour.

In cases where the pet owner is insured, we focus on claiming damages from their insurance policy. Sometimes, we also approach the victim’s homeowner’s policy for compensation. However, insurance companies may be reluctant to fulfill their obligations promptly.

Pursuing Justice in a Range of Animal Injury Cases

Attorneys Bob Sousa, Sydnee Sousa and Tom Minogue possess considerable experience in convincing insurance companies to provide the compensation necessary for victims to move on with their lives. While dog attacks are the most common, we also handle cases involving cats, livestock, and even incidents in petting zoos. The law protects victims by holding owners liable for their animals' actions.

Comprehensive Compensation for Animal Attack Victims

We empathize with the trauma you've experienced and, while we can’t reverse what happened, we're committed to doing everything within the law to set things right. This includes seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and the pain and suffering endured.
