Important Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims in Arizona

According to the Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-542, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of Arizona is two years. The statute of limitations is a law which limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim before they are no longer eligible to do so.

In other words, this means you have two years from the date you sustained your injuries to file a claim, or you will lose your right to file along with your right to recover compensation no matter how serious your injuries are. It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this time limit. The exceptions include:

  • If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident the two-year time period will begin once the claimant turns 18.
  • If the injury victim has a condition that qualifies them as legally mentally incapacitated the statute of limitations will end two years from the date they are declared mentally capable again.
  • If the alleged negligent party leaves the state of Arizona before the lawsuit can be filed the time limit will most likely be extended.

The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s important to speak to a skilled attorney about your case as soon as you can.

Commonly Asked Questions

How can I determine if I have a valid personal injury claim in Arizona?

To determine if you have a valid personal injury claim in Arizona, consider whether you sustained injuries due to someone else's negligence. Key factors include proving that the other party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that their actions directly caused your injuries. Additionally, you must demonstrate that you have incurred damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney can help clarify your situation and guide you through the legal process.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Phoenix?

After an accident in Phoenix, your first priority should be your safety and health. Seek medical attention for any injuries, even if they seem minor. Once you are safe, gather as much information as possible about the accident. This includes taking photos of the scene, collecting contact information from witnesses, and documenting any damages. It's also crucial to report the accident to the local authorities and your insurance company. Finally, consider consulting with a personal injury attorney to understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation.
