Arizona Dog Bite Laws: What You Need to Know

Arizona law is clear when it comes to dog bites. Under A.R.S. § 11-1025, Arizona is a strict liability state, meaning dog owners are legally responsible for bites—even if the dog has never shown aggression before. Victims do not have to prove that the owner was negligent, only that the bite occurred and caused injury while the person was legally present (not trespassing) on public or private property.
What this means for you:

  • You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring/disfigurement, and emotional trauma compensation.
  • You have one year to bring a strict liability claim and two years for a negligence claim (A.R.S. § 12-541 and § 12-542). Don’t wait.

Common Dog Bite Victim Concerns

Many victims hesitate to pursue legal action because the dog belongs to someone they know—a friend, family member, or neighbor. Others worry that the dog may be taken away or euthanized if they report the bite.

Here’s what you should know:

  • Most claims are paid through homeowners’ insurance, not directly by the dog owner.
  • Filing a claim does not necessarily mean the dog will be taken or put down, especially for first-time incidents. Animal control will evaluate the situation.
  • You have a right to safety and recovery—and that includes holding responsible parties accountable without guilt or shame.

Why You Need a Dog Bite Attorney

Dog bite cases are not always as straightforward as they seem. Insurance companies may try to:

  • Downplay the seriousness of your injuries
  • Argue that you provoked the dog
  • Offer lowball settlements
  • Delay or deny your claim entirely

We’ll negotiate aggressively with insurers and, if needed, represent you in court to pursue the full compensation you deserve.
