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.
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.
Call Emergency Services
Move to a safe location if possible and seek medical attention immediately.
Document the Scene
Take photographs, gather contact information of witnesses, and note important details.
Call Animal Control
Report the accident to the police and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor.
Minimal Contact
Avoid speaking to the owner’s insurance company
Consult a Dog Bite Lawyer
Contact Bailey Law Firm to discuss your case and understand your legal options
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.
