Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
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.
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.
