Car Accidents law in Arizona

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

Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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.

Gilbert grew from farmland to one of Arizona’s largest towns in a generation, and its road network still shows it: wide, high-speed arterials like Gilbert, Val Vista, and Higley run through dense residential areas with long distances between signals. Cases are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, and a claim against the Town of Gilbert requires a notice of claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. The Loop 202 Santan Freeway carries heavy East Valley commuter volume, and the Heritage District downtown concentrates restaurant and nightlife traffic on streets designed for a much smaller town.
