Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

How long do I have to file a personal-injury lawsuit in Arizona?

Arizona's general personal-injury statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of injury under ARS § 12-542. Claims against a government entity require a notice of claim within 180 days under ARS § 12-821.01, with the lawsuit filed within 1 year. Medical malpractice has its own 2-year limit under ARS § 12-542 but with a 'discovery rule' that may extend the start date.

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.

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.
