How Does Strict Liability Affect Your Dog Bite Claim in Arizona?
If you have been bitten by a dog, you want answers. Dog owners may wonder who was really at fault. Was the dog chained? Had the dog ever attacked a person before? Were you on the dog owner's property?
In fact, these questions play a very small role in a dog bite injury claim, because dog bite claims involve strict liability under Arizona law.
If you or someone close to you has been injured in a dog bite attack, the knowledgeable attorneys at The Breslo Law Firm are here for you.

Strict Liability and Dog Bites
At The Breslo Law Firm, we represent people in claims involving dog bite injuries. Dog bite injury claims are determined by the theory of strict liability.
Strict liability is a legal concept that makes a person legally responsible for events that took place regardless of their culpability. There does not have to be any evidence of fault, intent or negligence to find the person is liable for damages.
In the context of a dog bite injury, this means that the injured party does not have to prove the dog was vicious or had a history of attacks. As long as an injured party can prove that a dog bite was unprovoked, they have a basis for filing a claim to obtain monetary compensation.
In general, strict liability makes it easier to prove negligence and pursue damages for dog bite victims. Our attorneys will work with you personally to assess the short term and long term implications of your injury. We have extensive experience handling dog bite injury claims and a long track record of success obtaining monetary compensation for our clients.
