Tucson Dog Bite Injury
Mark and Alexis Breyer of Breyer Law Offices, P.C. love dogs. We have the utmost respect for the mutual companionship and loyalty of a devoted pet and its owner. However, we take Arizona dog bite laws very seriously and want to help people who have been hurt by the negligent actions of dog owners.
Dog bites account for more than 4.5 million injuries per year. Approximately 20 percent of the injuries result in a trip to the doctor's office or emergency room. A dog bite can be something as minor as a scrape that needs antibiotics and a tetanus shot, or as serious as deep punctures that require reconstructive surgery.
Dog Bite Injuries
If you are a victim of a dog bite, what do you do? You can seek a lawsuit against the pet's owner.
First, seek medical attention. Second, notify law enforcement. It is important to follow this protocol if you intend to seek compensation from the owner for damages the dog bite caused. Arizona dog bite statutes hold dog owners accountable for the actions of their pets. This means you have the right to have a qualified Tucson dog bite lawyer file a lawsuit on your behalf. Compensation can include reimbursement for medical expenses, loss of income if you cannot work, out-of-pocket costs, therapy, pain and suffering and more.
Fatal Dog Bites
Fatal dog attacks, though rare, still occur in Arizona. Family members have the right to seek justice on behalf of their loved one. In addition to injury expense damages, the family can sue for funeral and/or burial expenses, loss of service to the family, loss of love and affection and loss of income earning potential. Although this will not bring back a loved one, victims' families must deal with a lifetime of loss and sadness.
