WHAT WE HANDLE
Representing Phoenix Dog Bites Victims for 25+ Years
Arizona is one of the most pet-friendly states in the country, but every year thousands of Arizonans are bitten by dogs. Children are especially vulnerable, and dog bite injuries can leave lasting physical and emotional scars.
Arizona has one of the strongest dog bite laws in the country — owners are typically strictly liable for bites, regardless of the dog's history. Saguaro Injury Law helps dog bite victims recover compensation from owners and their homeowner's or renter's insurance.
We handle these cases sensitively — especially when the dog belongs to a friend or neighbor — and recover from insurance, not personal assets, in nearly every case.
