Arizona State Dog Bite Laws
In Arizona, the dog bite statute imposes strict liability on the dog owner for injuries caused by his or her dog. In other words, the dog does not get "one free bite," such as is available in some other states. A dog owner is liable for full damages caused by his/her dog when the dog bites or injures a person in a public place or when the injured person is lawfully present on the dog owner's property at the time of the bite or injury. This applies even if the owner had no knowledge of the dog's dangerous propensity. If an owner has knowledge of a dog's vicious propensity, the owner must keep the dog in an enclosed yard or area with a sign posted indicating the dog's vicious propensity. Knowledge of a dog's vicious propensity may result from simply owning a particular breed of dog, even if the dog has never attacked a person. A dog owner is not liable, however, for injuries sustained by a personal if that person provoked the dog, causing the dog to attack.
If you wish to know how the statute of limitations applies to a specific situation, you should verify the statutory time period and its relevance to your situation with a qualified Arizona personal injury lawyer.
