Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Desert Ridge 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.

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.
Shopping and freeway traffic around the Loop 101 and Tatum Boulevard concentrate collisions in Desert Ridge.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Desert Ridge include the Loop 101, Tatum Boulevard, and SR 51 (the Piestewa Freeway). Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Desert Ridge are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Desert Ridge is a district of the City of Phoenix rather than a separate municipality, so a roadway or maintenance claim runs against Phoenix, with the 180-day notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, and cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. The area concentrates an unusual amount of activity into a small footprint: the Loop 101 and Tatum interchange, the Desert Ridge Marketplace with its large surface parking fields, hotel and resort traffic, and a major hospital campus. That mix produces a high share of parking lot collisions, pedestrian strikes at marketplace crossings, and turning-movement crashes on Tatum and Deer Valley Road.
