Being attacked by a dog in Arizona is a traumatic experience. You may be frightened, overwhelmed and unsure of what to do as a dog bite injury victim. It is important to take the correct steps, however, if you wish to hold the pet owner liable, or financially responsible, for your injury and related expenses.
When dogs attack, they can cause significant injuries to their victims. Dog bite injuries are often physically and emotionally traumatic. Children and the elderly are especially at risk in dog attacks and can suffer fatal injuries. Victims of dog attacks in Arizona may be able to hold pet owners accountable.
A Phoenix TV station reports that a 65-year-old woman was recently mauled by three of her neighbor’s dogs. The critically injured dog-bite victim is in danger of losing an arm and an eye as a result of the attack.
The woman was outside of her own home when the attack by three mixed-breed pit bulls took place.
