Request An AppointmentArizona law may hold a dog owner responsible when a dog bites someone who is in a public place or lawfully on private property, even if the dog had not previously shown vicious behavior. Other legal theories may apply when a loose dog knocks someone down, causes a bicycle crash, or injures another person without biting. Defenses and exceptions can affect a claim, including questions about provocation and whether the injured person was lawfully present.
A prompt investigation can help identify the dog and owner, locate insurance coverage, document the scene, obtain animal-control or medical records, and preserve witness information. Homeowner’s, renter’s, or other liability insurance may apply, but coverage and responsibility depend on the specific facts and policy language.
Compensation may be available for medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, emotional harm, and other supported losses.
