Negligence Claims For Dog Bites
While most dogs are friendly and known as man’s best friend, they are also known to bite and attack people without warning. Dogs can be dangerous to people of all ages, whether they are familiar with them or they are strangers. Because dog bites often occur suddenly, unsuspecting victims are often unprepared to defend themselves and the dog bites can result in serious and sometimes devastating injuries. If you or a loved one have been bitten by a dog and suffered injuries, you may be entitled to compensation by filing a dog bite claim.
The Arizona dog bite attorneys at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers have years of experience helping dog bite victims and may be able to hold the dog’s owner liable for your injuries and losses. As some of the best lawyers for dog bites in Arizona, we understand the complexities of these cases.
While some states require that dog bite victims prove that an owner was negligent, Arizona has strict liability laws when it comes to dog owners when their dogs bite others. Arizona also has strict liability on dog owners when their dogs get out of their yard or enclosure and are at large when they bite someone. If you’re looking for the best lawyer for dog bites to handle your case, look no further. If you or a loved one have suffered injuries as the result of a dog bite, contact an Arizona dog bite lawyer today for a free consultation to review all of your legal options.
Compensation For Dog Bite Injuries
Under Arizona’s strict liability statutes, dog bite claims must be filed against the dog owner within one year of the incident. This is also referred to as the “statute of limitations”. Personal injury claims may be filed within two years but that also requires the plaintiff to prove fault.
Victims can seek compensation for injuries and property damage caused by the dog attack. They can also seek additional damages if they are able to prove negligence. If the dog bite injury sustained by the victim is fatal, surviving family members may also recover additional costs for burial and funeral expenses.

Who Is Liable For My Dog Bite?
Proving Who's At Fault
Under Arizona’s strict liability statutes, dog owners are legally liable to pay damages to victims if they are on public or private property, including the dog owner’s property. The exception would be if someone is bitten by a police or military dog when the dog is engaged in official activities, like a criminal investigation or while trying to apprehend a suspect.
While strict liability applies to dog owners, it does not apply to others who may be in possession or control of a dog when it bites or attacks someone. If dog attacks occur in which non-owners have liability, there may be other legal remedies available for victims.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions our personal injury attorneys receive from new and prospective clients with dog bite cases.
What Makes Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers Different?
The Arizona personal injury attorneys at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers have fought to protect the rights of personal injury victims and get them compensation for their injuries for decades. Our attorneys believe everyone is entitled to quality representation and focus our practice on helping normal, everyday people get the help they need and deserve.
Why Should I Hire a Dog Bite Attorney ?
Suffering any type of personal injury is just the beginning of any injury victim’s problems. Trying to file an insurance claim alone can be extremely complicated, especially when dealing with defendant insurance company attorneys who may dispute fault. Having an experienced attorney by your side to protect your rights can make a difference in the outcome of your claim.
Cases involving dog bite injuries can be particularly challenging because they often involve complex liability issues, such as proving the dog owner’s negligence or demonstrating that the dog had a history of aggressive behavior. Insurance companies may try to minimize the severity of the injuries or shift blame onto the victim, claiming provocation or trespassing.
A Phoenix dog bite lawyer understands the specific laws governing dog bite incidents in Arizona, such as leash laws or strict liability statutes, and can gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case. They can also help negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress caused by the attack.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
The personal injury attorneys at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means that we don’t charge any upfront fees to take your case, and you only pay us if we secure a settlement or verdict for your dog bite injury claim. If we win your case our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount that your Phoenix dog bite attorney obtains.
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim?
Arizona law requires that accident and personal injury victims file a claim within two years after the accident occured or when an unknown injury was first discovered. This is also known as the statute of limitations. If you try to file a claim after this two-year limit has expired, your claim will be deemed invalid and will be denied.
