Arizona is a strict-liability state for dog bites (A.R.S. § 11-1025): a Somerton 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.
US 95 carries heavy agricultural and cross-border traffic through Somerton.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see dog bites in Somerton include US 95 and Main Street. Serious dog bite injury claims arising in Somerton are generally litigated in the Yuma County Superior Court.
Somerton is in Yuma County, so cases are filed in Yuma County Superior Court and a claim against the City of Somerton requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The city sits in the middle of one of Arizona’s most intensive agricultural districts, and the roads reflect it: slow-moving tractors and harvest equipment, worker transport vans, and irrigation crossings mix with ordinary traffic on US 95 and Main Street. Winter is the busy season, with produce trucking at its peak and the regional population swollen by seasonal workers and visitors. Distance to trauma care in Yuma affects both injury outcomes and how quickly a claim can be documented.
