When to Hire a Phoenix Dog Bite Lawyer
According to Arizona law, dog owners are liable for damages if their dog bites a person in a public or private place, including the dog owner's personal property, as long as the victim is there legally.
As a result, the dog owner may be responsible for the following:
- any medical bills associated with the attack or bite
- loss of wages or future earning capacity
- pain and suffering
- emotional or mental trauma
- wrongful death
What to do After a Dog Attack
If you are the victim of a dog attack or a dog bite in Phoenix, take the following steps:
- Identify the dog. This includes identifying its owner and gathering their personal information. When possible, take pictures of the dog or take note of its description.
- Collect witness information. Witness testimony can be crucial to the success of your claim.
- Contact the authorities. Maricopa County has specific instructions for victims of dog bites in Phoenix. You can also contact the local police.
- Photograph your injuries. Pictures can help bolster documentation of the attack.
- Seek medical attention. Immediately seek treatment from a healthcare professional, no matter how minor your injuries may seem.
- Contact a dog bite lawyer. Phoenix dog bite claims must be filed within one year of the attack. So, act fast to avoid delay.
