Arizona law and personal claims
In addition to its law regarding insurance and fault, the state follows a “pure comparative” fault rule for personal injury claims. That means that, in an incident where one or more parties share the blame, you may be entitled to the percentage of damages that you were not liable for.
It’s also important to keep in mind that personal injury claims in Arizona have a statute of limitations — a time period in which you can legally file a claim. Under state law, car accident victims in Arizona have a two-year period to file a claim. In the event of an accident that results in someone’s death, family members of the deceased have a window of two years from the date of their loved one’s death to pursue compensation.
Wrongful death claims in Arizona can be filed by the following individuals:
- The deceased person's surviving spouse
- Any surviving child of the deceased person
- A surviving parent or guardian of the deceased person
The deceased person's personal representative on behalf of a surviving spouse, child, or parent, or on behalf of the estate if none of those people survived the deceased
Wrongful death claims are often filed against an individual, business, or government organization believed to be responsible in order to seek compensation for the death of a loved one.
