In Arizona, if you were injured in a car accident you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver. In some instances the deadline may differ — for example, if a government vehicle was involved in the crash you only have 180 days to file a claim. It is important to hire an attorney familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is timely filed.
