Dogs are many a man’s best friend, but they also have the capacity to be a vicious enemy—particularly when negligent owners expose others to aggressive animals. If you or a loved one suffered an attack by a dog in Kingman, hiring an attorney can be a critical next step. If you want fair compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other bite-related damages, consider letting a lawyer fight for it.

Dog Owners in Arizona Are Often Responsible for Bite Victims’ Damages
At Big Chad Law, we pride ourselves on knowing Arizona law. This includes statutes specific to dog bites, which dictate that:
- Dog owners in Arizona are strictly liable when their animal attacks someone
- The owner is generally liable for bites that occur both on public and private property
- The dog owner does not have to be aware of prior aggressive behavior by the dog—they are liable simply because their dog caused harm to someone else
Negligent owners, their lawyers, and insurance companies will not let the law stand in the way of their financial interests. Instead, these parties may try to avoid financial responsibility for your bite-related damages by claiming that:
- You were trespassing or engaged in other criminal activity when the bite happened
- You provoked the attack
- You are exaggerating the severity of the attack, resulting injuries or trauma, or damages
These are just some of the baseless allegations you may face as you seek justice for the bite in Kingman. Do not assume that such baseless allegations will fall flat. Instead, let a Kingman dog bite a lawyer from our team actively fight for the money you deserve while neutralizing these kinds of bad-faith tactics.
More Parties Who Can Be Liable for a Dog Bite
As experienced lawyers, we know that owners are the parties most often responsible for bites. However, we will enter your case with an open mind. Investigating a dog bite in this fashion will allow us to recognize negligence by:
- A property owner (such as a landlord) whose negligence contributed to you being bitten
- Any individual or organization that had custody of the animal at the time of the bite (veterinary clinics and dog sitters are two examples)
- Any other party who failed to protect you from harm
Our lawyers’ trained legal eyes will spot everyone who owes you compensation for bite-related damages. We want to obtain fair compensation for you as soon as possible, so do not wait to speak with our team in Kingman.
Securing Fair Compensation for a Dog Bite Takes Work—Let Big Chad Law Help
You may have yet to decide whether you want to hire a lawyer. We must give you a realistic picture of the challenges a dog bite case can entail, which include:
- Bad faith from insurance companies: What insurance companies should do and what insurance companies actually do are not always the same. Insurers involved in your case may delay, deny, and engage in other tactics meant to deprive you of the money you deserve.
- The dog owner retaining representation: A dog owner and any other negligent party may fight your claim. They may even hire an attorney of their own, particularly if you are seeking any substantial sum of money for your damages.
- A significant time and energy investment: You should not expect that your case will be easy. To secure fair compensation for a dog bite generally requires many hours and plenty of effort. Our team is ready to provide such effort and hours, while you would be wiser focusing on your recovery.
These are challenges our Kingman dog bite lawyers have encountered and overcome many times. We will not let these or any other hurdles stand in our way.
You owe it to yourself to focus on health. If you don’t—and instead spread yourself thin between your case and recovery—then you may worsen your condition and compromise your case. We hope you will accept the help of a Kingman dog bite attorney.
The Many Reasons to Hire Your Kingman Dog Bite Lawyer from Big Chad Law
Dog bites do not happen every day. Victims are often in shock just after the bite, which may then give way to confusion, anger, and many questions. Having an experienced Kingman dog bite lawyer can be priceless at such a trying and chaotic time.
We encourage you to speak with Big Chad Law about how we can help because:
We Know Dog Bites
We have represented victims of aggressive dogs and negligent owners for many years. This experience has taught us many lessons and prepared us to lead your case.
For instance, we know that puncture wounds (as opposed to non-penetrating wounds) from a dog bite are far more likely to result in an infection. We know that the psychological and emotional effects of being bitten can be just as devastating as physical injuries and financial losses. We also know, if you are bitten, hiring a lawyer can bring you several benefits.
Our Commitment to Clients Is Total
Big Chad Law does not exist without clients. When we represent clients, we consider it a partnership, and we show our gratitude for clients’ trust in us by:
- Molding our approach to meet clients’ requests and needs
- Maintaining consistent communication throughout the entire case, which keeps you informed and allows us to monitor your recovery
- Helping with any case-related appointments, including arranging medical care and mental health treatments
- Listening, always being respectful, and treating clients with dignity
There are many ways to practice law, and we do it the right way.
Our Fee Structure Works for Those Facing Financial Hardship
We want you to have no reservations about hiring Big Chad Law. We know that money can be a hangup, particularly because many dog bite victims are staring down financial uncertainty. This is why we:
- Won’t require any upfront fees or payments from you
- Cover all expenses as we complete your case (and even make strategic investments, such as expert services)
- Only receive a fee if you receive compensation
We don’t charge by the hour or demand any flat fee. If you get paid, we get paid. This is the most fair, client-centric way of providing legal services.

We Will Determine the Cost of Your Bite-Related Damages (and Document the Harm)
We’ve seen far more dog bites than we wish to see. We know the potentially high cost that dog bite victims face, and it’s our job to secure compensation covering—if not exceeding—those costs. Based on our extensive history representing dog bite survivors, we know that damages can include:
High Medical Bills
Medical authorities note that dog bites often result in high healthcare costs. Some of the care a bite victim might need includes:
- Emergency transport
- Emergency services
- Stitches, sterilization, and other wound treatment
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- Medications
Bite victims may also seek one or more cosmetic procedures if the bite leaves scarring. We believe that liable parties, including the dog owner, should cover the cost of all medical care arising from the bite.
Pain and Suffering
Being bitten by a dog can cause life-changing forms of pain and suffering, which may include:
- Physical pain
- Scarring and other changes to the victim’s appearance (which can cause loss of self-esteem and other problems)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Fear of dogs and generalized anxiety
- Depression
- Lost quality of life
Big Chad Law frequently works with mental health professionals. These professionals compassionately diagnose our clients’ pain and suffering, provide treatment, and help us document the cost of dog bites and other harmful events.
Treatment for Pain and Suffering
If you choose to seek treatment for PTSD, anxiety, or any other symptoms of the attack, our team will include treatment costs in your case.
Lost Income
Many who live through a dog bite need time away from work. The professional fallout from a dog bite may include:
- Lost earnings
- Lost earning power—if, for example, you have to work reduced hours following the bite
- Missed chances for promotions, new employment opportunities, bonuses, and other incentives that evaporate while you’re unable to work
By the time your Kingman dog bite lawyer is seeking compensation for your damages, they will know you. They will know where you work, how you’ve responded to the bite emotionally and psychologically, and how the at-fault party’s failures have diminished your life.
Disability
Dog bites can cause disabling injuries, particularly when the dog is unusually vicious. Those who face one or more disabling injuries may:
- Face excruciating forms of pain and suffering
- Need one or more surgeries to improve their condition
- Need medical equipment
- Have to relocate or alter their residence
- Need a new vehicle
- Face other significant economic and non-economic challenges
Our attorneys are prepared to demand compensation for your damages, whatever they may look like. We have seen clients suffer significant harm due to dog bites some might call “minor,” so no case is too small for Big Chad Law.
