Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a San Luis 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.
Border-crossing traffic at San Luis concentrates on US 95 and the downtown port of entry.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in San Luis include US 95, Main Street, and Archibald Street. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in San Luis are generally litigated in the Yuma County Superior Court.
San Luis is in Yuma County at the Mexican border, so cases are filed in Yuma County Superior Court and a claim against the City of San Luis requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The port of entry generates dense commercial truck and pedestrian traffic on US 95 and Main Street, with long queues and frequent stop-and-go movement. Agricultural work in the surrounding fields puts farm equipment and worker transport on the same roads. Claims here more often involve drivers insured in Mexico or California, which raises coverage and jurisdiction questions that rarely arise in a Phoenix case.
We represent clients across the surrounding communities too, including dog bite claims in Somerton and dog bite claims in Phoenix.
