Strict Liability in Dog Bite Cases

Generally, Arizona has strict liability for dog bite cases. This is good news for the unfortunate victims of dog bites and their families. It means that if there is an incident, the owner or possessor of the dog is presumed to be negligent, although certain defenses may be available such as provocation.

If You or Someone You Love Has Recently Been Bitten by a Dog

It is important that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Take pictures of the wound, the accident scene and if you can, identify the dog, its owner and their insurance company. When you contact our firm we will begin an immediate investigation to preserve all necessary evidence in your claim including witness statements, animal control reports, and medical documentary evidence.
