Even a brief encounter with an aggressive dog can result in serious trauma. 

After an attack, you may feel unsure about reporting what happened or pursuing a claim, especially if the dog belongs to someone you know. 

You don’t need to understand Arizona dog-bite law or decide immediately whether to pursue a case. Jose will listen to what happened, explain your options in plain language, and help protect your interests while you or your child focuses on recovering.

Personal Representation From A to Z

You deserve to feel like more than another case number. 

At ZLG, Jose remains personally involved throughout your case. Before becoming an attorney, he worked as a paralegal and learned how personal injury claims are investigated, documented, and built from the ground up.

That experience allows him to understand the details at every stage, from gathering reports and medical records to communicating with insurance companies and preparing a case for court when necessary.

When you work with ZLG, you can expect:

• Direct communication with Jose
• Clear explanations without unnecessary legal jargon
• Representation in English or Spanish
• Consistent updates about your case
• Personal attention throughout the claim
• Guidance from the initial investigation through resolution

Taking a few practical steps may protect your health and help preserve important information:

1. Move to a safe location away from the dog.
2. Seek medical attention.
3. Identify the dog and its owner when possible.
4. Obtain the owner’s contact information.
5. Report the attack to the appropriate local authority.
6. Photograph your injuries.
7. Photograph the location when it is safe to do so.
8. Get the names and contact information of witnesses.
9. Preserve torn, damaged, or bloodied clothing.
10. Keep medical records, bills, and receipts.
11. Avoid signing releases or accepting a settlement too quickly.
12. Speak with an attorney about the applicable legal deadline.

Don’t approach or confront an aggressive dog to obtain information. Your immediate safety comes first.

You may still be able to pursue a claim even if you couldn’t complete every step. Jose can review what happened and investigate the information that remains available.
