Why Do Victims Need Legal Support in Dog Bite Cases?

Dog bite victims often face a multitude of challenges, including medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Navigating the legal landscape on your own can be challenging, especially while recovering from an injury. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you in this process:

Navigate Complex Legal Processes: Understanding the complexity of Arizona dog bite laws and ensuring all legal procedures are correctly followed.
Prove Liability: Establishing the dog owner liability to secure fair compensation.
Maximize Compensation: Ensuring all damages, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, are fully covered.

Understanding Arizona Dog Bite Laws

Arizona has specific statutes that govern dog bite accidents. Under Section 11-1025 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, dog owners are held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, regardless of the animal’s previous behavior. This means that if a dog bites someone, the owner is responsible for the damages.

Exceptions to this rule include bites that occur while the dog is assisting military or police work. In such cases, the dog actions are justified as part of their duty.

Common Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can result in severe and sometimes permanent injuries, such as:

Puncture wounds
Lacerations and abrasions
Nerve damage
Infections
Scarring and disfigurement
Emotional trauma

Types of Liabilities and Common Case Types

Victims often seek legal support for various types of liabilities including:

Strict Liability: Holding the dog owner responsible regardless of prior knowledge of the dog’s aggression.
Negligence: Proving that the owner failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent the bite.
Intentional Torts: Cases where the dog owner intentionally caused the victim’s injuries.

Common cases include bites occurring in public spaces, private properties, or due to the owner’s negligence in controlling their pet.

  Let me start off by saying that if your looking for someone who is kind thoughtful professional down to earth easy to communicate  with & is very pro active in how they do business & is 100% invested in you & getting the best outcome for whatever your situation may be than I would recommend jonny & rowanna. This was my first time that I  needed to find a lawyer who could assist me with my situation. What stood out to me was at the end of our zoom meeting I remember saying to both jonny & rowann that I'm not interested in moving forward because I was more at fault than the lady who hit me so in my mind I'm thinking we'll this guy probably isn't going to want to take my case because it seemed like it would be an uphill battle, & he responded by letting  me know that he would like to take my case & see what he could do &  bottom line is that you"ll either have more than what you have now or you"ll be in the same situation.
So I thought about it for a minute & decided to trust them to see what happens. So from that day on all the way til the case was resolved I've had a great experience with them. Rowanna explained everything to me in a way that was not complicated  & always asked me that if had any questions or if I didn't understand she would ask. They are easy to talk with & made me feel like I was important & trying to get the best outcome for me. When my case was complete I was so grateful & appreciated for what they were able to do for me. Johnny & Rowanna are the best & will always have & want the best for you I know because they did that for me. Thanks again  CHRISTOPHER

  I worked with The Sorenson Law firm for about 5 months resolving a personal injury claim that occurred during a car accident I was in and I couldn't have been more happy with results. The firm was always responsive, quick to answer any questions I had and I could tell they had my best interest in mind. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs a personal injury lawyer, they're great!

  I cannot recommend the Sorenson Law Firm enough. After an accident, I was in a situation where I knew very little about my options. I reached out to my community for advice and Johnny’s wife was quick to put me in contact with him to get me some help. The insurance company we were dealing with was not the easiest, but Johnny and his team did a wonderful job at recovering my losses and fighting for me. Johnny and his team kept me well informed and educated throughout the process, which meant a lot as I was very naïve and knew very little going into this process. I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with this wonderful team, and if life ever throws another curve ball, I’ll be sure to use the Sorenson Law Firm again!!!

  Sorenson Law Firm made a tough situation less burdensome for me and my family. Going through the lost of a loved one and having to instill trust in people you don't know is hard. But Johnny Sorenson and his associates were very caring, professional, informative and timely when it came to our case. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs lawyers that actually care about their clients and not just a paycheck. I'm writing this as a thank you to their company and to the team that worked on our case. Thank you!
