Common questions about Personal Injury in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

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.

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.
