Children suffer the most severe dog bite injuries because bites often reach the face and head. These cases carry higher value for scarring and trauma, and Arizona allows extra time for minors to file. Acting quickly still preserves the strongest evidence.

How do Arizona laws affect your case in Phoenix, AZ?

Your claim is governed by Arizona law, which uses pure comparative negligence.

The deadline to file is generally two years from the date of injury under A.R.S. 12-542, so acting early protects your right to recover.
