Arizona motor vehicle accident FAQ

Who is this for?

People injured in a motor vehicle accident in Arizona, including pedestrians and bicyclists struck by a vehicle, where another driver was the at-fault party.

Does it cost anything?

No. The case evaluation is free. Many Arizona personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means the attorney's fee is paid from any recovery. Fee terms are set by the law firm in a written agreement.

How long do I have to file in Arizona?

Arizona generally gives two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against a city, county or the State of Arizona require a notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). An attorney can confirm the deadlines that apply to you.

What if I was partly at fault?

Arizona uses pure comparative negligence, so you may still recover compensation if you were partly at fault. Any award is reduced by your percentage of fault (A.R.S. § 12-2505).

Are you a law firm?

No. Case Closed MVA is a free intake and attorney referral service. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Information you submit is sent to Phillips Law Group, an Arizona personal injury law firm, for review. No attorney-client relationship exists unless you sign a written agreement with the firm.

Do you take cases outside Arizona?

No. The partner law firm reviews accidents that happened in Arizona.
