The insurance company doesn't want to pay your dog bite claim. We're prepared to fight on your behalf.

A serious dog bite can lead to more than just physical pain and scarring.  It can lead to a lifelong fear of dogs - a fear that is so debilitating that it causes the victim to feel panic or anxiety whenever a dog is nearby. 

Dogs are considered man's best friend, but the fact of the matter is that canines are animals and their behavior can be unpredictable.  Dog bites are an epidemic in the United States.  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4.7 million people sustain dog bite injuries every year in the United States.  Among these dog attack victims, 800,000 have to obtain medical attention and half are children.

The Dog's Owner Can Be Held Liable

If you or your child has suffered a dog bite injury, you may be wondering if compensation is available.  Medical treatment for dog bites can be expensive, especially for serious injuries, such as puncture wounds, excess bleeding, swelling, heavy bruising, deep lacerations, abrasions and bone fractures.  Dog attacks have also been known to cause physical scarring, disfigurement and emotional trauma.

In Arizona, dog bite cases generally fall under "strict liability."  Basically, under Arizona dog bite law, if a dog bites, the owner can be held liable.  You do not have to prove that there was negligence involved.  You may be able to recover compensation that includes medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish and other damages caused from the vicious dog attack.
