If a dog attacks you and causes physical injury, you will likely have a successful claim if the dog was not on a leash, or in other words, was “at-large.” Because of Arizona’s strict liability statutes for dog bites, it is not necessary for a victim to show “vicious propensities” like some other states require. A victim only has only one year to file a lawsuit to protect his strict liability claim against the dog owner.
