    Default Child Bitten by a Dog - Who is Liable

    My question involves injury or loss that occurred in the state of: Arizona

    My 8 year old son was bitten by a dog in a neighbor's front yard. After getting 29 stitches, we were finally able to leave the emergency room. Now, I'm wondering who is going to be responsible financially. Normally, I would assume the people who are living there. I wasn't sure if they owned the property or not. I'll just use the names, {ELIDED}.

    After an internet search as to who owns the property, I came up with {ELIDED}. So, I believe the owner is one of the couple's parent.

    My question is, who is going to be responsible for this, the owner of the dog, or the home owner?

    Thank you. This is my first post here, and have read a couple of 'interesting' posts and replies. So, if you need more information, I'll be happy to help.

    BTW, we've already called animal control, who have so far, picked up the dog, and got an agreement from the homeowners, to put it to sleep.
