Sharing Fault In Car Accidents

Not all car accidents are caused by just one driver. In many cases, both parties share some level of responsibility. When fault is shared, compensation can still be available — but how much you recover depends on your percentage of fault and the laws in your state.

  • Pure Comparative Negligence
  • Modified Comparative Negligence
  • Contributory Negligence

How Much Is Your Case Worth?

If you’ve been in an automobile accident, you likely want to know how much your case is worth. There isn’t a set fee schedule you can use to value your claim. Instead, your car accident lawyer will consider factors such as the extent of your injuries, your long-term needs, and the degree of negligence. Then your attorney can value your claim and begin the negotiation process. Contact an attorney today to schedule a free consultation to start the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to file a car accident claim in Arizona?

Arizona's statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the crash under ARS 12-542. Wrongful death follows the same two-year window, measured from the date of death. Missing this deadline almost always bars the claim entirely, so file well before the cutoff.

Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for the crash?

Yes. Arizona follows pure comparative fault under ARS 12-2505. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can recover even if you were 99% at fault. The insurance company's fault arithmetic is negotiable; get a lawyer to fight it.

How much is my car accident case worth?

Case value is the sum of past and future medical bills, lost wages and lost earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Catastrophic injuries and clear liability push value up. Low-impact with pre-existing conditions push it down. A lawyer's first-week review gives you a realistic range.

Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance?

No. You are not legally required to give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurer, and doing so almost always hurts your case. They use your words to minimize the claim. Refer them to your lawyer or decline until you have representation.

What does a contingency fee cost me upfront?

Nothing. Contingency means the fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid only if you win. No recovery, no fee. Case costs (filing, records, experts) are typically advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the settlement. The initial consultation is free.

What should I do in the first 24 hours after a crash?

Call 911 and get a police report. Photograph vehicles, plates, and scene. Exchange insurance info. Seek medical evaluation even if you feel fine, concussions and soft-tissue injuries often surface hours later. Do not post about the crash online and do not speak to the other insurer.
