Dog Bites

Phoenix-Scottsdale Dog Bite Attorneys

Dog bites and dog attacks are responsible for thousands of child injuries every year. Children are more susceptible to dog bites and attacks because they are not adept at reading a dog’s temperament or propensity to bite — especially if they have been around friendly dogs in the past.

Located in Phoenix, the child injury lawyers at Zachar Law Firm represent the families of Arizona children who are dog bite victims or who have been mauled by a dog or other pet.

Experienced Arizona Dog Bite Injury Lawyers

We have extensive experience handling dog bite and animal attack injury claims, especially those involving babies and small children.

Arizona dog bite laws impose strict liability on pet owners. That means even if the dog has a friendly disposition and no history of biting, the person who owns the dog and the person who had control of the dog are still responsible to you and your child for the injuries suffered.

What to Do if Your Child Is a Dog Bite Victim

If your child is bitten or attacked by a dog, you should do the following:

• Seek immediate medical assistance. Call 911, the police or an ambulance.
• Obtain the name and contact information of the person in control of the dog, the owner of the dog (if different) and any witnesses.
• If possible, take pictures of the dog, the victim, and any people who witnessed or were in control of the dog. Use a camera phone if you have one.
• Take pictures of the injuries and wounds before and after medical treatment.
• Obtain insurance information from the person in control of the dog and the dog’s owner.
• DO NOT sign any insurance papers or discuss your claim with an insurance company before you have spoken to an attorney. You may say or sign something that could severely jeopardize your claim.
• Contact a personal injury lawyer with experience handling child injury and dog bite claims.
