Can I Pursue Financial Compensation?
In a wrongful death claim, the plaintiff’s attorney is responsible for proving the decedent’s death was caused by the negligence of another party. There are four elements in a negligence claim:
- A Duty of Care was Owed: The at-fault party owed the decedent a duty of care, which is a legal responsibility to use reasonable care to prevent harm to the decedent.
- The Duty was Breached: The at-fault party failed to fulfill the duty of care owed to the decedent.
- Link Between Breached Duty and Death: The at-fault party’s failure to fulfill the duty of care resulted in the decedent’s death.
- Damages Exist: These could include financial damages like funeral expenses and lost income, along with emotional damages like pain and suffering.
There are many different examples of negligence that could lead to a wrongful death:
- A driver’s failure to follow traffic laws, resulting in a fatal accident
- A product manufacturer’s failure to address known defects in a product
- A drug company’s failure to warn patients of dangerous side effects
- A doctor’s failure to perform within accepted medical standards
- A property owner’s failure to address dangerous conditions on his or her property
Phillips Law Group has an entire team of paralegals, investigators and other support staff prepared to thoroughly investigate your loved one’s death and attempt to gather evidence of negligence.

Arizona Requirements for Filing a Wrongful Death Case
In Arizona, the following parties associated with the decedent are permitted to file wrongful death claims in civil court:
- Representative of the deceased’s estate
- Surviving spouse
- Surviving children
- Surviving parent or guardian
You can learn more about these requirements in a free legal consultation.
What Is the Value of My Case?
Each wrongful death claim involves unique circumstances that help to determine the compensation that may be available.
There are generally two categories of damages in a wrongful death claim.
Damages to the Decedent’s Estate
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills for the deceased’s final treatment
- Lost wages that the decedent would have earned
- Benefits that the decedent would have earned
- Compensation for the decedent’s pain and suffering before death
- Property damage
Damages Suffered by the Family
- Pain and suffering due to the death of a loved one
- Value of lost household services that would have been performed by the decedent
- Loss of care, guidance and companionship
If you have questions about the types of damages recoverable through wrongful death action, we are here to answer them.
Deadlines for Filing Wrongful Death Claims
While each case is unique, generally, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the decedent’s date of death (A.R.S. § 12-542(2)). If this deadline is missed, it may not be possible to pursue compensation through a lawsuit.
However, the deadline for your case could be different so it is important to speak with a qualified attorney about how much time you have to take legal action.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
