Car Accidents law in Arizona

Arizona is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused your Flagstaff 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.

Flagstaff car accident, frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Arizona?

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.

What if I was partly at fault for the Flagstaff crash?

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.

Car accidents in Flagstaff: local context

The I-40/I-17 junction, winding mountain grades, and winter snow and ice make Flagstaff’s roads especially hazardous.

High-traffic corridors where we frequently see car accidents in Flagstaff include I-40, I-17, US 89, Milton Road, and historic Route 66. Serious car accident injury claims arising in Flagstaff are generally litigated in the Coconino County Superior Court.

Flagstaff sits at about 7,000 feet in Coconino County, so cases are filed in Coconino County Superior Court and a claim against the City of Flagstaff requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Winter conditions genuinely change the analysis here in a way they do not elsewhere in Arizona: snow and black ice on I-17, I-40, and Milton Road raise questions about speed too fast for conditions, and property owners face real snow and ice removal duties that rarely arise in the Valley. Northern Arizona University concentrates pedestrian and cyclist traffic, and I-17 and I-40 carry long-haul commercial trucks through the city year-round.

Injuries do not stop at the city line. We also handle car accident claims in Fredonia and car accident claims in Phoenix.
