Dog Bite Accidents in Arizona<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Arizona, the dog bite statutes require a person injured by a dog bite to be on public property or lawfully on private property when the bite occurs. The owner of the dog may not be responsible when the person bitten by the dog is unlawfully on private property or trespassing. Further, under <\/span>Section 11-1027 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, a dog owner is not liable if the dog was provoked. In all other cases, you can bring a claim against the dog owner when you have serious injuries resulting from a dog bite. Arizona\u2019s dog bite law is based on a theory of \u201cstrict liability.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This means the owner can be held liable for the dog bite, even if the dog had never bitten before and the owner had no idea the dog was potentially dangerous. About half of the states in the U.S. base their dog bite laws on the theory of negligence, meaning a victim can only file a dog bite injury lawsuit against the owner if the owner knew or had reason to know the dog was potentially dangerous. Arizona does not require that a dog owner has prior knowledge that the dog could be aggressive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
