Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
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 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.
How are personal-injury attorney fees structured in Arizona?
Most Arizona personal-injury attorneys work on contingency: typically 33% of the recovery if the case settles before suit is filed, 40% if a lawsuit is filed, and sometimes 45% if the case proceeds through trial. Court costs and expert-witness fees are generally advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the recovery. Initial consultations are almost always free.
