Florence Road Network and Context
Florence is the county seat of Pinal County, located approximately 60 miles southeast of Phoenix and 30 miles north of Tucson along SR-79 (the Florence-Coolidge Highway / Florence Junction Highway). SR-79 is the primary north-south corridor connecting Florence to the US-60/SR-202 interchange near Florence Junction to the north and to the Tucson metro via Oracle Road to the south — it carries sustained mixed traffic through an area where speed limits and road design have not kept pace with growth, producing a documented history of fatal crashes. SR-287 (North Pinal Ave / Main Street) is the east-west connector through Florence toward Coolidge and Casa Grande. The Pinal County Jail and state prison facilities — Arizona State Prison Complex-Florence is adjacent to the city — generate a distinctive commuter and visitor vehicle pattern around the prison perimeter roads that adds to the area’s traffic exposure. Hunt Highway connects Florence to the San Tan Valley residential communities to the north, carrying growing residential commuter traffic that has outpaced the highway’s design capacity.
Florence is the county seat of Pinal County — Pinal County Superior Court is located in Florence (971 N Jason Lopez Circle B, Florence AZ 85132).

Florence PD handles in-city crashes; Pinal County Sheriff covers the surrounding county; DPS handles SR-79, SR-287, and other state highway crashes.

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.
