Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Sedona 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.
Heavy tourist traffic on the narrow, scenic SR 89A and SR 179 through Sedona’s red-rock corridors leads to frequent collisions.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Sedona include SR 89A and SR 179. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Sedona are generally litigated in the Yavapai County Superior Court.
Sedona straddles the Coconino and Yavapai county line, so where a collision occurred can determine whether the case is filed in Coconino County Superior Court or Yavapai County Superior Court. A claim against the City of Sedona requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Tourism drives the traffic pattern: SR 179 and SR 89A carry heavy volumes of unfamiliar drivers navigating roundabouts, sudden scenic stops, and trailhead parking, and pedestrian and rear-end collisions at those points are common. Jeep tours, shuttle vans, and out-of-state rental vehicles add commercial and non-resident insurance issues that complicate an otherwise straightforward claim.
