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.

What if I'm injured on government property or by a government employee in Arizona?

Claims against Arizona state, city, or county entities require a written notice of claim within 180 days of the incident under ARS § 12-821.01, with the lawsuit filed within 1 year. The notice must include specific facts and a sum certain demanded. Sovereign immunity has been largely waived for tort claims, but procedural requirements are unforgiving - missing the 180-day notice generally bars the claim entirely.

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.
