Nobody expects that they will be injured by a dog bite, but these incidents happen all the time. There are approximately 4.5 million people bitten by dogs each year in the US, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that as many as one out of every five dog bite victims has to seek medical attention.
According to A.R.S. § 11-1025, Arizona is a “strict liability” dog bite state. This means that dog owners can be held liable for any injuries and damages their dog causes. The victim does not have to prove that the dog owner’s negligence caused the bite. The owner can be held liable even if this is the first time the dog has bitten someone.
However, the owner is only responsible for injures caused by the bite, not for other injuries a dog may cause (such as knocking someone over and causing a broken bone). Securing compensation for other injures will require proving owner negligence, something that your Buckeye dog bite injury lawyer will help with.
In Arizona, a dog bite victim must take action against the dog owner within one year from the date the incident occurs.
