Arizona is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused your Desert Ridge crash, and their insurer, owes your damages. Under pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505) you can recover even if you were partly at fault, with your award reduced by your share. Every driver must carry at least $25,000/$50,000 in liability coverage (A.R.S. § 28-4009), and you generally have two years to file (A.R.S. § 12-542). Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident (A.R.S. § 12-542), and a claim involving a city, county or the state requires a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01). Because Arizona applies pure comparative negligence, an insurer assigning you part of the blame reduces what you recover rather than ending the claim, which is why adjusters raise it early. Consultations are free and there is no fee unless we win.

Generally two years from the date of the crash (A.R.S. § 12-542). If a government vehicle or entity is involved, a Notice of Claim is due within 180 days.
Arizona’s pure comparative negligence rule (A.R.S. § 12-2505) still lets you recover, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.
Shopping and freeway traffic around the Loop 101 and Tatum Boulevard concentrate collisions in Desert Ridge.
High-traffic corridors where we frequently see car accidents in Desert Ridge include the Loop 101, Tatum Boulevard, and SR 51 (the Piestewa Freeway). Serious car accident injury claims arising in Desert Ridge are generally litigated in the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Desert Ridge is a district of the City of Phoenix rather than a separate municipality, so a roadway or maintenance claim runs against Phoenix, with the 180-day notice of claim under A.R.S. § 12-821.01, and cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court. The area concentrates an unusual amount of activity into a small footprint: the Loop 101 and Tatum interchange, the Desert Ridge Marketplace with its large surface parking fields, hotel and resort traffic, and a major hospital campus. That mix produces a high share of parking lot collisions, pedestrian strikes at marketplace crossings, and turning-movement crashes on Tatum and Deer Valley Road.
Injuries do not stop at the city line. We also handle car accident claims in New River and car accident claims in Phoenix.
