Pet Owners and Legal Responsibility
In Arizona, pet owners are responsible for any injury or property damage their animals inflict. It does not matter whether they train their animals to be aggressive, or whether they were aware of any aggressive tendencies in their pets before the attack. This legal policy is called strict liability.
If you or a loved one has been injured by someone’s dog or other animal, our Tucson dog bite lawyers can help you receive fair compensation for:
- Medical expenses related to the attack
- Lost wages, or reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
The only legal defense against a dog bite injury claim is provocation. In other words, if the bite victim was hurting, frightening, or otherwise provoking the animal into attacking, the animal’s owner is not legally responsible for the injury. In all other cases, however, strict liability applies.
