I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Can I File a Dog Bite Injury Claim?

Arizona laws follow strict liability for claims involving dog bites. According to ARS 11-1025, the dog’s owner could be held liable for injuries and damages caused by the animal. This liability applies to scenarios where a dog bite occurs on public or private property, as long as the victim had legal permission to be on the premises.

For a dog bite claim to be valid and to hold an owner responsible, proving negligence is not required. It does not have to be proven that the owner was aware that the dog was dangerous. If the victim is found to have provoked the dog, the victim and dog owner may be found jointly liable for the incident.

To determine if you are eligible to file a claim for your dog bite injuries, schedule a free, no obligation consultation with our legal team today.

How to Protect Your Dog Bite Claim

As the victim of a dog bite, it may difficult to know what your next steps should be. Taking these steps after the incident may help ensure your health and safety as well as protect your legal rights:

1. Seek immediate medical treatment ”“ All dog bite injuries should be attended to by a doctor. Even the slightest wound poses a serious risk for infection and scarring. Seek medical care immediately after your injury to receive proper treatment. Your medical records can help link your injuries to the dog bite, which can be important evidence as you pursue legal action.
2. Follow doctors’ orders ”“ It is important that you follow your doctor’s treatment plan throughout the recovery period. Doing so gives you the best shot at recovery and shows your commitment to treatment. Disobeying doctors’ orders may be used against you if you choose to pursue legal action.
3. Report the incident ”“ All dog bites must be reported to the Coconino County Health and Human Services Animal Management. A dog bite report can be completed online. If there is a risk of rabies, the dog may be quarantined to observe for signs of rabies so that you may receive proper treatment if necessary.
4. Document the injury ”“ Take photos of the scene of the attack, the dog, and your dog bite wound, including any bruising, lacerations, blood, redness and clothing damaged. These photos could be used to prove how severe the incident and injuries were at the time of the incident. Continue to take photos of your injuries throughout the healing process as well.
5. Identify the dog owner ”“ If you are able to identify the dog’s owner, write down the owner’s name, address and phone number. Get the dog’s veterinary information so that you may verify the animal’s shot records. Also ask for the dog owner’s homeowners insurance information, as this coverage may provide compensation for your injuries.
6. Talk to witnesses ”“ If anyone else saw the dog attack, collect their names and contact information. A Flagstaff dog bite attorney will use this information to contact witnesses later on for an interview regarding what was seen or heard during the attack.

After seeking medical treatment, another important step is contacting a licensed Flagstaff dog bite lawyer who can determine the legal options that may be available to pursue the compensation you need.
