Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Is Arizona a comparative-fault state?
Yes. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence under ARS § 12-2505. You can recover damages even if you are found 99% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. There is no threshold beyond which a plaintiff is barred from recovery, unlike modified-comparative states.
Should I have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in Arizona?
Yes. Auto insurers must offer UM/UIM coverage under ARS § 20-259.01, though it can be rejected in writing. Roughly 12% of Arizona drivers are uninsured, and many more carry only state minimums that won't cover serious injuries. UM/UIM pays your damages when the at-fault driver is uninsured, underinsured, or a hit-and-run, and is one of the most cost-effective coverages available.
How is pain and suffering valued in Arizona personal-injury cases?
Arizona has no statutory formula for pain and suffering. Common methods include the multiplier method (medical bills × 1.5 to 5 depending on severity) and the per-diem method (a daily dollar amount × days of impairment). The actual award depends on the severity of injuries, recovery time, permanent impairment or scarring, the credibility of the plaintiff, and - if the case goes to trial - jury composition.
