Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Scottsdale 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.
Fast-moving north–south corridors like Scottsdale Road and Pima Road, plus the Loop 101, are frequent sites of serious collisions in Scottsdale.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Scottsdale include Loop 101 (the Pima Freeway), Scottsdale Road, Shea Boulevard, and Pima Road. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Scottsdale are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Scottsdale runs narrow and long, roughly 30 miles north to south, so conditions vary sharply by district. Old Town concentrates nightlife, bar traffic, and pedestrians around Scottsdale Road and Indian School; north Scottsdale is high-speed arterial driving on Pima, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Loop 101. Claims are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and if the City of Scottsdale is a defendant, because of a roadway defect or a city vehicle, the public-entity notice of claim is due within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Spring training at Salt River Fields and Scottsdale Stadium, plus the Barrett-Jackson and Waste Management Open weeks, sharply raise traffic and impaired-driving volume in February and March.
