Dog Bites Lawyer in AZ & NV
We help injured people recover full compensation after dog bite accidents.
About Dog Bites
- The aggressor is an animal, which means liability often depends on the owner’s pet control, containment practices, prior behavior of the dog, and compliance with leash or containment laws.
- In some cases, a “one‑bite rule” applies: liability arises only if the owner knew (or should have known) that the dog had aggressive tendencies.
- If the bite occurs due to negligence — e.g., the dog wasn’t properly restrained

I had an excellent experience with Valley Injury Law, and I can’t say enough good things about Shauna. From the very beginning, she was professional, compassionate, and truly invested in my case. She took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand, kept me updated at every step, and always made me feel like my situation mattered.Posted on Google Robert DockstaderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is with extreme gratitude that I write this review for Valley Injury Law. It is unfortunate that I have been involved in two accidents (red light runs both times) in three years and both times I have enlisted Valley Injury for handling my case. I will tell you they do not disappoint! The guidance I received through this process was very comforting allowing me to focus on myself and healing than worrying about medical bills, insurance companies and opposing attorneys. They followed up with me periodically to see how everything was progressing and If I had a question they were always there immediately when I contacted them. Their compassion for their client is shown in how they work the case and level of detail when closing.

Dog Bites FAQs
Likely, yes, if the bite caused injury and it was not solely your fault (e.g., provoking the dog). Laws vary by location; many states hold the owner strictly liable (responsible regardless of previous aggression), while others follow a “one-bite” rule.
It varies widely. Settlements cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and scarring. The national average payout for dog bite claims is around $64,555 (2022 data), but individual cases can be worth anywhere from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands or more, depending on the severity of the injury.
Most dog bite attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees. The lawyer only gets paid a percentage (typically 30% to 40%) of the final settlement or court award. If you don’t win, you generally owe no attorney fees.
Anywhere from a few months to a few years.
- Simple cases with minor injuries and clear liability often settle in 1 to 6 months.
- More complex cases with severe injuries, contested liability, or those that go to trial can take 1 to 3 years or more.
