If a dog has attacked you, you have the right to demand a fair settlement for your medical bills and other needs from the dog’s owner.

Dog Bite Lawyer Biltmore, AZ

Dog attacks are scary, even when we know the dog! Even a small bite that breaks the skin can cause a nasty infection, as well as the risk of rabies. More damaging dog bites, especially for larger breeds with wide jaws, cause nerve damage, irreparable loss of muscle in the area, and loss of mobility. Dog bites are notoriously hard to suture, as well, leaving the victim with large, disfiguring scars. The emotional trauma of a dog attack often lasts long after the scars fade; many people suffer from PTSD, debilitating anxiety, and a crippling phobia of dogs. In some cases, especially with young or elderly victims, the dog attack is fatal.

Arizona considers dogs property, and therefore, the owner of the dog is responsible for any harm their animal causes. It’s a strict liability state for dog bites, where the owner is liable even if the dog has never bitten before (as opposed to a “one bite rule” state, which essentially gives dogs a “one free bite” pass before the owner is liable). As the victim, you have the right to file a suit for damages against the dog’s owner, seeking full compensation for all your medical care, lost wages if you missed work, and pain and suffering. Our Biltmore dog bite lawyer is here to stand up for your rights and fight for what you’re owed.

We build a strong case against the dog’s owner, handling all the legal matters required for your claim. We represent you at each step of the process, shielding you from harassment or victim-blaming. Our goal is a fair settlement, and we’re prepared to take the matter to trial to achieve justice.

Our Experience Matters In Dog Attack Cases

Dog bite cases have complications that many other personal injury claims do not, including victim-blaming (from the owner and their insurance company) and the potential for serious medical complications after an attack. Our Biltmore dog bite injury lawyer understands these unique complications and has many successful arguments to overcome them. We’re committed to protecting you and advocating for your rights.
