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.

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.

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.
