Dog bites

Dog bite cases in Arizona have their own rules. An attorney can explain how they apply to you.

What happened

A dog got to you or to your child. Bites are frightening in a way that is hard to explain afterwards, and they often happen close to home.

Sometimes the owner is a neighbour, a landlord, or a relative. That makes people hesitate to ask questions. Asking a question is not the same as suing someone.

What usually happens next

This is general information, not advice about your case. An attorney can tell you what applies to you.

  • Get medical attention. Bites carry infection risk even when the wound looks small.
  • Find out whether the dog is vaccinated, and report the bite to county animal control.
  • Photograph the injury as it heals, not only on the first day.
  • Arizona has specific dog bite statutes. An attorney can tell you what they mean for your situation.
