Personal injury law in Arizona covers cases where a person is harmed due to someone else's negligence or intentional conduct. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence system under A.R.S. § 12-2505, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover even if you're 99% at fault. This is more favorable to plaintiffs than many other states. Common personal injury cases in Arizona include motor vehicle accidents (Phoenix has one of the highest traffic fatality rates in the nation), premises liability, product liability, and medical malpractice.
Consult a personal injury attorney if you've been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or any situation caused by another party's negligence. Arizona has a two-year statute of limitations (A.R.S. § 12-542) for most personal injury claims. For claims against government entities, you must file a notice of claim within 180 days.
Most personal injury attorneys in Arizona work on a contingency fee basis, typically 33-40% of the settlement or verdict. You pay nothing upfront and nothing if you don't recover.
Key Arizona statutes: A.R.S. § 12-542 (2-year statute of limitations), A.R.S. § 12-2505 (comparative negligence), A.R.S. § 12-711 (wrongful death). Arizona does not cap compensatory damages in most cases.
