Accident risks
Common Accident Risks in Arizona
Arizona's fast-growing metro areas and long desert highways create very different crash risks. In the Phoenix area, congestion on I-17, Loop 101, Loop 202, and US-60 leads to rear-end and intersection collisions, while high speeds on I-10 and I-8 make rollovers and truck crashes more severe. Extreme summer heat contributes to tire blowouts and vehicle failures, and seasonal dust storms can cause sudden multi-vehicle pileups. Arizona also sees one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the nation, especially in Maricopa and Pima counties.

Know your rights
Arizona Personal Injury Laws You Should Know
Every state sets its own rules for injury claims. These are the Arizona rules that most often affect what you can recover and when you must act.
Statute of limitations
Arizona generally allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit (A.R.S. § 12-542). Wrongful death claims also have a two-year deadline.
Pure comparative negligence
Arizona is a pure comparative fault state (A.R.S. § 12-2505). Even if you were mostly at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.
At-fault insurance system
The at-fault driver's liability insurer pays for injuries. Arizona's minimum liability limits are $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage.
Claims against public entities
If a city, county, or state agency is involved, you must serve a notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and generally file suit within one year.
Constitutional protection for damages
Arizona's constitution prohibits laws that limit the amount of damages recoverable for death or injury, so there is no general cap on pain and suffering awards.
After an accident
What to Do After an Accident in Arizona
-
Get to safety and call 911.
Request police and medical help, and ask for a copy of the crash or incident report.
-
See a doctor right away.
Some injuries, including concussions and internal injuries, do not show symptoms for hours or days.
-
Watch the 180-day clock.
If a government vehicle, road condition, or public property played a role, Arizona's notice-of-claim deadline is short and strict.
-
Document everything.
Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries, and collect names and contact information for witnesses.
-
Avoid recorded statements to the other insurer.
Insurance adjusters may use your words to reduce or deny your claim.
-
Call an Arizona personal injury lawyer.
A free consultation helps you understand your rights before important deadlines pass.

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in Arizona?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in Arizona. Claims against government entities require a notice of claim within 180 days, so act quickly.
Can I recover damages in Arizona if I was partly to blame?
Yes. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover even if you share fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Does Arizona cap pain and suffering damages?
No. The Arizona Constitution bars laws that limit damages for injury or death, so juries decide the full value of your losses.
Can a law firm based in Florida handle my Arizona case?
Yes. Attorney Jeffrey Kaufman is licensed in Arizona. Our firm handles out-of-state cases by phone, video, and secure document exchange, so you do not need to travel to Orlando.

Nothing. Your Arizona case review is free and confidential, and we charge no fees unless we win.
