The pet owner likely has minimal liability insurance so guess where the deep pocket is? Bingo………the great state of Connecticut. Officials knew about her harboring a wild animal and did nothing about it. The horrendous nature of the injuries will trump any assumption of risk.
I would expect that the claims department of the owner’s liability carrier has set a claim reserve for the policy limits. And if the owner hasn’t started taking stock of her assets, and how to shield or dispose of them, she better get started. I ain’t a matter of “whether”, it’s a matter of “how much”. But you can’t get blood out of a turnip – – -.
