Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Glendale 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.
Grand Avenue’s diagonal crossings and event traffic around State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena contribute to Glendale’s collision rate.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Glendale include Loop 101 (the Agua Fria Freeway), US 60 (Grand Avenue), I-17, and Bell Road. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Glendale are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Glendale is in Maricopa County, with cases filed in Maricopa County Superior Court and a 180-day public-entity notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01 if the City of Glendale is a defendant. Grand Avenue cuts diagonally across the street grid, creating six-way intersections with unusual signal timing and restricted sight lines, notably at Grand and 59th and Grand and Bethany Home. The sports and entertainment district around State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena produces concentrated event traffic and a higher share of impaired-driving collisions on game and concert nights, particularly along Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including dog bite claims in Goodyear and dog bite claims in Phoenix.
