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.
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.
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.
