Arizona’s Dog Bite Laws

Arizona is a strict liability state when it comes to dog bites. This means that if a dog bites you, the dog’s owner is held responsible for your injuries, regardless of whether the dog has shown aggressive behavior in the past.

There is no “one bite rule” in Arizona, meaning that you don’t need to prove the dog has bitten someone before. This provides strong protection for victims like you, but understanding how to use this law to your advantage requires the guidance of a skilled Phoenix dog bite lawyer.

Why Do You Need a Phoenix Dog Bite Lawyer?

Dog bite injuries can range from minor cuts to serious injuries like avulsions, physical disfigurement, and emotional trauma. Medical treatment for such injuries can include emergency room visits, surgeries, antibiotics for infections, and even long term rehabilitation. It can be difficult for victims to handle the legal burden alone while dealing with these medical issues.

Our dog bite injury attorney at The Sorenson Law Firm can help you by handling all aspects of your legal claim. This includes:

Investigating the dog bite accident and gathering necessary evidence
Filing your claim with the insurance company of the dog owner
Negotiating with insurance adjustors and ensuring that your claim is taken seriously
Pursuing fair compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma

Dog bites are often covered by the dog owner’s homeowners’ insurance or other applicable insurance policies. Our Phoenix personal injury lawyers know how to hold these companies accountable to ensure you receive fair compensation.

  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!
