Arizona’s Dog Bite Law
Arizona applies strict liability to owners of dogs that bite someone. The owner of a dog which bites a person is liable for damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of its viciousness. A.R.S. 11-1025, 11-1027. The owner is liable when the person is bitten in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog. A.R.S. 11-1026.
We love dogs too, but we don’t love irresponsible dog owners. Dog bites should not be taken lightly. A serious dog bite — even by a small dog — can result in permanent muscle damage and deep tissue scars that can require major reconstructive surgery.
