The Serious Nature of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites aren’t minor incidents, they often lead to life-altering injuries, including:

• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds
  
• Nerve and tendon damage
  
• Infections requiring hospitalization
  
• Disfigurement and permanent scarring
  
• Psychological trauma, including PTSD
  
• Rabies exposure and treatment complications

Children are especially vulnerable, often bitten in the face or head, leaving both physical and emotional scars.

How Dog Bite Laws Work in Arizona

Arizona has strict liability laws for dog owners. That means if their dog bites someone, the owner is typically responsible, regardless of whether the dog showed aggression before.

Dog bite claims in Arizona often involve:

• Homeowner’s insurance: Many claims are pursued through the dog owner’s insurance policy.
  
• Strict liability: Victims don’t have to prove negligence if the bite happened in a public place or when lawfully on private property.
  
• One-year filing deadline: Arizona law gives victims a limited time to bring strict liability claims, making fast action critical.

Big Auto Accident Attorneys ensures deadlines are met, evidence is preserved, and your case is positioned for maximum recovery.

Multi-State Dog Bite Representation

While Arizona law favors bite victims, dog bite statutes vary across states. Big Auto Accident Attorneys have the multi-state experience to guide you no matter where the attack occurs.

• California: Imposes strict liability on dog owners, similar to Arizona.
  
• Texas: Follows a “one bite rule,” often requiring proof the owner knew the dog was dangerous.
  
• Colorado & New Mexico: Provide strict liability in many cases, but details depend on the severity of injury.

Our attorneys understand these differences and know how to pursue justice across multiple jurisdictions.

Real-World Example

Imagine a child playing in a neighbor’s yard in Mesa when the neighbor’s unsecured dog attacks, causing severe facial injuries. The insurance company quickly offers a low settlement, hoping the family won’t fight back.

Big Auto steps in to:

• Gather medical records and expert testimony on future surgeries and scarring.
  
• Document the psychological impact on the child.
  
• File an aggressive claim against the negligent owner and insurer.

With Big Auto Accident Attorneys, families gain an advocate ready to demand full and fair compensation.

Dog bite evidence can disappear fast. Wounds heal, photos get lost, and witness memories fade. Insurance companies may also pressure victims into early settlements that don’t cover long-term medical needs.

• Photograph and document injuries.
  
• Secure medical evaluations and expert testimony.
  
• Demand insurance accountability.
  
• Prepare the case for trial if necessary.
