There Is A Strict Filing Deadline for Claims in Arizona

Most states have some type of statute of limitations or deadline for filing a personal injury claim. However, no matter which state you are in, you must adhere to that deadline or risk losing your opportunity to pursue any compensation for the damages you have suffered.

In Arizona, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Although two years may seem long enough to take legal action, your attorney will need time to fully investigate the accident that caused your injuries and gather evidence to build a strong argument on your behalf.

It is also important to mention that there are exceptions to the two-year rule that may require you to file significantly sooner ”“ such as when you pursue a claim against a government entity ”“ you will have just 180 days from the date of your accident to file.

When you schedule a consultation free of charge with one of our dedicated lawyers, we could help determine what statute of limitations may apply to your potential catastrophic injury claim.
