Dog Bites
Most dogs are friendly and great companions. Unfortunately, some dogs attack people and pets, sometimes without provocation. In Utah and Arizona, the legislature has adopted a “strict liability” standard for dog owners. Utah and Arizona make a dog owner liable whenever his dog bites a person, even if it is the first time the dog has bitten anyone and regardless of whether the dog had a history of viciousness.
Dog bite claims require specific knowledge and strategies to make sure that the proper party is held accountable, to determine who is at fault for failing to control the dog, and what damages are recoverable.

Other Animals
While most “animal” claims involve dog bites, any animal can cause injuries and damages. Animal owners and keepers are required to exercise good judgment and protect the public from animals under their control.
If you have been injured by an animal, it is important to contact an attorney to make sure that your injuries are taken care of and to protect others from being injured by the same animal. If you have been injured by an animal, or by an animal owner’s negligence, contact Broadbent Law today.
