Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Is Arizona a no-fault state for car accidents?
No. Arizona is a fault-based ('tort') state for auto accidents, not a no-fault state. The injured party can pursue a claim against the at-fault driver and that driver's liability insurer. Minimum required auto liability coverage is $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury and $15,000 for property damage under ARS § 28-4009.
Do most personal-injury cases in Arizona go to trial?
No - over 95% of personal-injury cases in Arizona settle before trial. The typical process involves a demand letter to the at-fault party's insurer, negotiation, formal complaint and discovery if no settlement, then mediation. Most non-litigated claims resolve within 6-12 months; cases that go to suit typically take 12-24 months from filing to settlement or verdict.
What damages can I recover in an Arizona personal-injury case?
Economic damages cover medical bills (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Punitive damages are available in cases involving fraud, malice, or evil mind under ARS § 12-820.04, subject to a clear-and-convincing-evidence standard. Arizona has no statutory cap on most personal-injury damages.
