Arizona catastrophic & personal injury lawyer

Quick answer

In Arizona, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (A.R.S. § 12-542). Arizona uses pure comparative fault, so you can recover even if you were partly at fault. Claims against a government entity have much shorter deadlines.

Serious injury cases in Arizona are won or lost early. The insurer starts building its file the day of the crash. We take over communication, preserve the evidence, and build the claim while you heal. No fee until we win.
