Understanding Personal Injury Law in Arizona
Key Arizona Personal Injury Laws
Arizona operates under a pure comparative negligence system, which means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident.
However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for a car accident, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Arizona is two years from the date of injury.
Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to seek compensation entirely.
Always speak to a lawyer right away to learn about your legal options and start your case.
