Arizona Dog Bite & Dog Attack Lawyers Fighting for Victims

Arizona Dog Bite Lawyers

As a society, far too many people are quick to blame the dog when a person is bit. We are your dog bite attorneys in Arizona.

 

At Bailey Law Firm, we firmly believe that people are to blame, not dogs. It is the negligent, careless, irresponsible and even reckless conduct of owners that leads to serious dog bite injuries. 

 
Dog owners should carefully introduce new people, in and out of the home. Even if their dog is friendly and well-socialized, new people can trigger unexpected reactions. This is especially important because Arizona is a strict liability stateThis means owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dog’s bite, even absent history of bite(s) or aggression.
 
Compare this to the “one-free-bite rule” followed by many other states. This limits dog owners’ liability to circumstances in which the owner knew their dog was aggressive or their dog had previously bitten a person.

What Should I Do After a Dog Bite?

Dog bites can cause deep wounds, nerve damage, infection, disfigurement, and lasting trauma, especially for children. No matter where you live, the process is the same.

It’s not uncommon for a neighbor or friend to offer to “take care of the bills,“ but that promise often disappears when the costs become clear. Don’t sign anything without first speaking with an attorney.

Who Is Responsible for a Dog Bite?

In Arizona, dog owners are not responsible for injuries caused by their dog’s bite if the injured person trespassed or provoked the dog.

A dog is considered legally provoked when the injured person engages in conduct that a reasonable person would believe would provoke a dog. Everyone should take basic precautions when it comes to interacting with dogs. This includes asking the owner before approaching a dog and avoiding any behavior that may annoy or threaten a dog.

Dog bites are generally avoidable through common sense and responsible practices. For example, owners must always leash their dog in public, period.

All doors to and from the home should be secured and all family members (including children) and guests instructed not to let the dog out. Even friendly dogs can run out of the house and react negatively to people. Situations like this can cause serious injuries but are avoidable through responsible pet ownership and basic precautions.

Dog-friendly patios continue to grow more popular. Owners must always stay vigilant and keep their dogs at their side and under control. Dining with your dog is a fantastic way to socialize because it usually involves a lot of people, other pets, and endless stimuli.
 
People cannot predict everything that might trigger a dog and must pay close attention. With strangers in near by, even a friendly dog can react unexpectedlyIt is the owners’ responsibility to ensure their dog shares public space safely with others.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I spoke with a couple attorneys from different law offices before finding Michael Erike. None of the attorneys I spoke with would answer my questions without paying upfront, but Michael did. He immediately took initiative and began working on our first call. He answered all of my questions and gave me confidence that the situation could be resolved. He was very communicative throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him and Bailey Law. I will definitely reach out to Michael if I have other situations arise.

During the process, my attorney and the paralegals kept me in the loop and were always available for contact if I had a question or concern. I know that if I ever needed a personal injury attorney I would 100% use them again.
