Can I sue if the dog has never bitten anyone before?

Yes. Arizona’s strict liability law holds dog owners responsible for bites, even if it’s the dog’s first attack.

How much is my dog bite case worth?

Compensation depends on injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and whether punitive damages apply.

Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule, so if you provoked the dog, your compensation may be reduced.

One year for strict liability claims. Two years for negligence-based claims.

In some cases, landlords can be held liable if they knew the dog was dangerous and failed to act.
