Personal Injury Laws in Phoenix
Arizona personal injury laws affect how we investigate claims, establish liability, and pursue compensation. The rules that apply depend on your accident’s circumstances, the parties involved, and the type of claim you’re filing.
Arizona’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
Under A.R.S. § 12-542, you must file most Arizona personal injury lawsuits within two years of the injury. However, claims against public entities often require a formal notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, and other exceptions may apply.
Our team reviews the circumstances of your accident to identify applicable deadlines and protect your right to pursue compensation.
How Fault Can Affect a Personal Injury Claim
Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule under A.R.S. § 12-2505. This means you may still recover compensation even if you share responsibility for an accident, although your percentage of fault reduces your recovery.
For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% responsible, your compensation would decrease to $80,000.
Our firm investigates the evidence to challenge unfair fault assessments and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Shapiro Law Team’s Personal Injury Case Process
We know filing a personal injury claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re recovering from an accident. Our legal team guides you through each stage, from your initial consultation to resolving your claim.

Step 2: Investigation and Case Preparation
Our team investigates your accident, reviews medical records, gathers available evidence, and identifies potentially liable parties. We use this information to build a case that reflects your injuries, financial losses, and other damages.
Step 3: Pursuing Compensation
We evaluate your damages, communicate with insurance companies, and negotiate for a fair settlement based on the evidence. Our goal is to secure compensation that covers your current and future losses.
Step 4: Resolving the Claim
Some personal injury claims settle through negotiations, while others require litigation. We explain your options, discuss potential outcomes, and represent your interests as we work toward a resolution.

What Damages Are Available to Accident Victims?
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may qualify for compensation for both financial losses and the personal impact of your accident. Our Phoenix personal injury lawyers evaluate the evidence to identify damages supported by your claim, including:
- Medical Expenses: Emergency treatment, hospital stays, rehabilitation, medications, and reasonably anticipated future medical care
- Lost Income: Wages lost during recovery and reduced future earning capacity when injuries affect your ability to work
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life resulting from your injuries
- Other Financial Losses: Property damage and other accident-related expenses supported by the circumstances of your case
The compensation available depends on your injuries, the evidence, applicable Arizona law, and any liability or insurance coverage issues. We review these factors to determine which damages to pursue on your behalf.
