Key legal rules that affect how Arizona car accident claims are valued and resolved.
Pure Comparative Fault
2 years from the date of the accident
$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $15,000 property damage
Arizona follows pure comparative fault, allowing you to recover damages even if you were mostly at fault—your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
The state does not cap compensatory damages for personal injury cases.
Arizona does not have a no-fault insurance system, meaning the at-fault driver’s insurance is responsible for damages.
