What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Maricopa Dog Bite Lawyer?

A dog bite injury lawyer is going to be an incredible advocate on your behalf. Insurance companies will frequently offer a minimal settlement in the immediate aftermath of a dog attack. The settlement will almost certainly prove insufficient to account for your medical expenses, property damage, or any ongoing care. Unfortunately, dog bite injury victims often lack the resources necessary to ensure they receive full compensation. However, a Maricopa personal injury attorney can:

• Obtain relevant evidence needed to demonstrate liability, including video or photo surveillance of the attack, signed eyewitness statements, medical records, etc.
• Gather all of their client’s medical records, proof of lost wages, and proof of any out-of-pocket expenses in an effort to calculate the total losses.
• Obtain and review any insurance policy being used by the dog’s owner to cover the costs of the case.
• Negotiate with every party involved to reach a fair settlement and prepare the case for trial, if necessary.

Dog Bite Injuries in Maricopa can be Severe

Data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows us that around 2,400 people are attacked or bitten by a dog each day in this country. Annually, the CDC says that approximately 800,000 people seek medical assistance due to dog bites each year. Unfortunately, dog bite injuries are often severe. It is not uncommon for attorneys to help clients who have sustained the following:

• Severe puncture wounds or lacerations
• Severed veins, arteries, muscles, or tendons
• Amputated fingers
• Crushed or broken bones
• Severe scarring or disfigurement
• Infections
• Major blood loss

What Are Arizona’s Laws Regarding Dog Attacks?

In some states across the country, a dog owner will only be held liable if the dog has been aggressive in the past or if the dog owner’s negligence contributed to the injury. However, Arizona operates under a “strict liability” dog bite law. This means that the dog owner can be held liable for any injuries the victim sustains so long as the incident occurred when the victim was on public property or lawfully on private property.
