Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Gilbert 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.
Rapid growth in Gilbert has put heavy traffic on arterials like Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive that were built for a smaller town.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Gilbert include Loop 202 (Santan), US 60, Gilbert Road, and Val Vista Drive. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Gilbert are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Gilbert grew from farmland to one of Arizona’s largest towns in a generation, and its road network still shows it: wide, high-speed arterials like Gilbert, Val Vista, and Higley run through dense residential areas with long distances between signals. Cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and a claim against the Town of Gilbert requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The Loop 202 Santan Freeway carries heavy East Valley commuter volume, and the Heritage District downtown concentrates restaurant and nightlife traffic on streets designed for a much smaller town.
