Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Arcadia owner is liable when their dog bites someone lawfully present, even with no prior history of aggression. A shorter one-year deadline applies to the strict-liability claim, while the general two-year personal-injury deadline (A.R.S. § 12-542) covers negligence claims. The defense insurers reach for is provocation (A.R.S. § 11-1027), raised in nearly every case, so what happened in the seconds before the bite matters. A negligence claim against an owner who ignored a leash ordinance or knew the dog was dangerous keeps the longer two-year window but requires proving fault. Photographing the wound as it heals is worth as much as the medical records, because scarring is valued on how it looks months later. Consultations are free and there is no fee unless we win.

No. Under A.R.S. § 11-1025 the owner is strictly liable for a first bite if you were lawfully on public or private property.
The strict-liability claim has a one-year deadline; a negligence claim generally follows the two-year rule (A.R.S. § 12-542). Acting early protects your options.
Arcadia’s busy east–west arterials like Camelback Road see frequent vehicle and cyclist collisions.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Arcadia include Camelback Road, Indian School Road, and 44th Street. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Arcadia are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Arcadia straddles the Phoenix and Scottsdale boundary, which can determine which city is the correct defendant in a roadway or maintenance claim, and either way triggers the 180-day public-entity notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. The neighborhood’s mature landscaping and narrow residential streets off Camelback Road and 56th Street limit visibility and leave pedestrians and cyclists sharing the roadway, while Camelback and Indian School carry through-traffic at arterial speeds. The concentration of restaurants along Camelback also raises late-night impaired-driving risk on streets with little separation between cars and people on foot.
If your dog bite happened outside Arcadia, we take dog bite claims in Biltmore and dog bite claims in Phoenix as well.
