Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Arizona?
2 years from the crash date under ARS 12-542. Missing this deadline permanently bars the claim. Insurance companies start building their defense immediately — don’t wait.
What if the other driver was underinsured?
Arizona minimum liability coverage is 25/50/15 (ARS 28-4009). If you carry UM/UIM coverage (ARS 20-259.01), your own policy becomes the primary recovery path when the at-fault driver’s limit isn’t enough.
What if I was partly at fault?
Arizona follows pure comparative fault (ARS 12-2505). If you were 20% at fault, you recover 80% of your damages. Insurers inflate your fault percentage to reduce their payout — we counter that argument.
What can I recover after a car accident?
Past and future medical bills, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, vehicle damage and rental costs, and permanent injury damages if applicable.
