Key legal principles that affect accident claims in Arizona.
Arizona personal injury law allows individuals who are harmed through another party's negligence to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Under A.R.S. § 12-542, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Arizona is two years from the date of the injury. Filing after this deadline typically bars recovery entirely, making timely legal consultation critical.
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence standard under A.R.S. § 12-2505. This means that an injured party can recover damages even if they are partially at fault for the accident. However, the total compensation is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to that party. For example, if an injured person is found 20 percent at fault, the recoverable damages are reduced by 20 percent. This system applies in car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian incidents, and other personal injury claims throughout the state.
Damages in Arizona personal injury cases generally fall into three categories: economic damages (medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life), and in certain cases involving extreme misconduct, punitive damages. Arizona does not impose a statutory cap on compensatory damages in most personal injury cases, which means the value of a claim depends on the specific facts, the severity of the injury, and the available evidence. An experienced Arizona personal injury attorney can help evaluate which categories of damages apply to a given situation.

If a Government Entity Was Involved — Shorter Deadlines Apply
When the at-fault party may be a government entity — a city or county, a public school, a state agency, ADOT, a police or sheriff department, a public hospital, or a government-owned road or vehicle — Arizona imposes two deadlines that are much shorter than the general two-year period:
Missing the 180-day notice typically bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the case is. Early legal review helps identify whether a government defendant applies and protects both deadlines.
