FAQ
Questions after an accident
Straight answers to what Arizona injury clients ask most.
What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical care, document everything you can, keep records, and be careful what you say to the other side's insurer — early statements can be used to reduce your claim. Then talk to a lawyer before you accept anything.
How long do I have to file in Arizona?
Most Arizona injury claims have a two-year deadline (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against a government entity are much shorter — a notice of claim is generally due within 180 days. Don't wait; deadlines are strict.
What if I was partly at fault?
Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505). You can still recover even if you were partly at fault; your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What will it cost me?
Injury cases are handled on contingency — no fee unless we win. The consultation is free.
